Tips from the Community
Nestled in a flat area wedged between verdant mountains, Dicomano is the gateway to Casentino, Mugello, and Valdisieve. Thanks to its fortunate geographical position, it has developed since ancient times as a large market, a tradition still confirmed today by the fairs it hosts in autumn and spring.

It is worth descending to the small cave beneath the church via a staircase flanked by a series of singular sculptures, created in a relatively recent era.

Nowadays, they are often just monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: the heavy millstones were moved using only the power of the wind as the driving force and, for example, grain was ground into flour (grain mills) or oil was pressed from olives (oil mills). But the writer Miguel de CERVANTES (1547 to 1616) also created a literary monument to the technical monument of the mills: the most famous figure of the author, who is considered Spain's national poet and whose work can certainly be valued as world literature: "Don QUIXOTE", also known as the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance" and always accompanied by his loyal squire Sancho Panza, fights a - of course hopeless - battle against windmills in one of the fictional stories, in which he believes he recognizes four-armed giants.

This church, "SAN MICHELE Arcangelo", was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also with a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.
