Vicchio was the birthplace of two masters of the figurative art: Giotto di Bondone and Beato Angelico. The birthplace of Giotto di Bondone http://www.zoomedia.it/Vicchio/Giotto.html was portrayed by painters and designers. During the first surveys on the structures, the house was an appendix built after the fifteenth century. Not far from Vespignano, the sixteenth-century Ponte di Ragnaia replaced a previous medieval bridge, where the meeting between the painter Cimabue and the shepherd boy Giotto took place, intent on drawing a sheep.
In Florence, he painted an altarpiece known as the Ognissanti Madonna (now in the Uffizi Gallery). His works point to the innovations of the Renaissance style that developed a century later. Born around 1266 on Vespignano hill (Vicchio, near Florence), he become the most important Italian painter of the 14th century.

In 1318, in the church of Santa Croce, he began to paint chapels for four different Florentine families (the Bardi Chapel, the Peruzzi Chapel the lost Giugni Chapel and the Tosinghi Spinelli Chapel). About his realism, it is true he painted the Madonna and St. Joseph and the Christ, but they was essentially Mamma, Papa and Baby. He painted the emotionalism of the Franciscan approach to Christianity. Acting with passion their parts in Christian drama, human beings into his works are the exclusive subject matter.
