Sugherella is a neighbourhood in the city of Grosseto, Tuscany. The neighbourhood has approximately 18,000 inhabitants and extends over the northeastern area of the urban territory.
History
The area has been known as the piano della Molla (Molla Plain) since medieval times, as it was crossed by the eponymous ditch that originated from Lake Bernardo, near Istia d'Ombrone, and flowed into Lake Prile. By the mid-17th century, the Sugherella estate was documented among those villages with farms in the plain along the road that connected Grosseto with Siena. The lack of maintenance of the banks and bed of the Molla ditch led to a gradual marshland development in the area, necessitating a long series of hydraulic regulation interventions, culminating in the works carried out by Leonardo Ximenes in the 18th century. Between 1828 and 1830, the Sugherella estate was separated from the city of Grosseto by the route of the diversion canal of the Ombrone River. In 1864, the estate became part of the possessions of Baron Bettino Ricasoli, who was already the owner of the Barbanella estate.
In 1964, construction of the Misericordia Hospital began in the lands adjacent to the estate. An initial urban settlement was planned in the master plan drafted by Luigi Piccinato and approved in 1971. The task of designing the modern neighborhood "Zona 167" was entrusted to the newly established association Architetti Riuniti Grossetani (ARG), which included ten architectural firms: Cappelli, Di Salvo, Gentili, Giacolini, Luzzetti, Mangani, Marliani, Moni, Piemontese, and Santini. Work began in 1979 and continued for about a decade, until the completion of the parish church of the Holy Family, consecrated in 1989, the year in which the neighborhood received a visit from Pope John Paul II.
Main sights
- Church of Santa Famiglia (Holy Family): it is the first parish church of the neighborhood, located on Via Unione Sovietica. The parish was established by Bishop Adelmo Tacconi in 1979, and the church was consecrated on 9 April 1989. The following month, on 21 May, the church received a visit from Pope John Paul II, who celebrated Mass there.
- Church of Santa Teresa of Calcutta: it is the second parish church in the neighborhood, located on Via Stati Uniti. The parish was established in 2004 by Bishop Franco Agostinelli, dedicated to Mother Teresa. Designed by architect Stefania Ritti, the church was consecrated by Bishop Rodolfo Cetoloni on 2 December 2018.
- Villa Sugherella: it is the historic manor house of a estate documented since the 17th century.
