Croce del Pratomagno

Highlight • Monument

The Croce del Pratomagno is a monument that was inaugurated on September 2, 1928: it is a large modular iron cross that dominates the whole massif and is visible even from a great distance. In November 1966, due to bad weather, the upper part collapsed and was later relocated in 1969; on 27 July 2013, the inauguration of the new restoration and redevelopment of the site was carried out by the Construction Service of the Province of Arezzo.

Monte Pianellaccio Summit and Hinkler Memorial

Highlight • Summit

On January 7, 1933, the aviation pioneer Hinkler crashed his plane here. During World War I he served as a pilot in the British Royal Air Force. After the war he was a test pilot, inventor (first seaplane) and aviation pioneer. He managed the second solo overflight to Charles Lindbergh over Antarctica. In 1928 he set the first speed record for the flight from London to Australia with 15 ½ days. When trying to get back the record, which had meanwhile been undercut, at the beginning of 1933, he failed at the Pratomagno. It started at dawn on January 7th in London and flew over Florence around 11.00 a.m. Probably Hinkler got into a storm with his single-engine Puth Moss and crashed on the flank of the Pratomagno. The crashed machine was only found on April 27, 1933. Hinkler’s corpse lay next to the wreck in such a way that it was concluded that it had survived the crash for the time being. Hinkler’s grave can be seen today in Florence in the “Cimitero degli Allori” cemetery. A state funeral was held in his honor on May 1, 1933.
