The hamlet of Consuma sits on the Florence side of Passo della Consuma, the main crossing over a spine of the Central Appennines that separates two parts of the Arno River drainage. The town traces its roots to the 15th century when it is first noted as a village that served travelers between Arezzo and Florence. It now serves vacationers visiting the Casentino National Park on two-lane SR70. A central feature of the settlement is its church, built in 1932 over the foundations of a 16th-century chapel.
