David Lazzaretti
(David Lazzaretti)
Between Arcidosso and Mount labbro, Mount Amiata visitors get to know the life and the works of one of the most curious people in the XIX century Tuscany. David Lazzaretti "Amiata Prophet" was born in 1834 in Arcidosso. Son of a carter that used to work in Maremma in difficult times, Lazzaretti melted the ambition to get social justice, that was becoming stronger throughout Europe at his time, with deep spirituality. Lazzaretti founded in Arcidosso a religious brotherhood (I Giurisdavici) that preached friendship between brothers, joint estate and primitive socialism.
