Baruffi: a fraction immersed in nature
Hello everyone! Today I will talk about Baruffi, a small fraction of the municipality of Impruneta, in Italy. I will show you the history, geography and activities that can be done in this area immersed in nature.
Etymology
The toponym Baruffi derives from a noble local family dating back to the fifteenth century. The family made history and gave its name to the area where it lived.
Geography
Baruffi is located on a small hill about 200 meters above sea level. It is about 3.5 km from Florence and 1 km from the Tavarnuzze fraction. In 2014, the census population was 301. Until a few years ago, the only accessibility to the fraction was through dirt roads, but it has since been paved.
Places of interest
Among the places of interest is Villa Belvedere (Baruffi), built in the first half of the fifteenth century. It is worth visiting this historic building, where you can appreciate the charm of Tuscan tradition and antique artworks.
Typical products
Baruffi is known among housewives for "coniglio alla baruffina". It is a typical dish of the area that involves cooking the rabbit "in bianco" in a pan, only with the addition of extra virgin olive oil, salt, rosemary, and a hint of white wine. It is a simple but tasty recipe that I recommend you try if you pass through here!
Sports and recreational activities
The panoramic location, the presence of green spaces and the proximity to small centers make Baruffi an ideal destination for walks and trekking excursions, especially on weekends and during the beautiful season. You will find many paths that will lead you to discover the area and allow you to enjoy the panoramic view.
For soccer enthusiasts, there is Baruffi FC, the local soccer team founded in 2015. This year they will participate in the Florence third category championship. If you are in the area, why not go and cheer them on?
Notes and projects
Finally, to conclude, I point out that Baruffi is a fraction of Impruneta and is part of the Florentine territory. If you are looking for a quiet place immersed in nature, I recommend taking a look at this area.
I hope you enjoyed this brief journey and that it has helped you discover a little more about Baruffi. See you next time!
