Our search for the ancient roads that connected the beautiful villages of our territory with the Via Francigena continues.

We will cross the areas that Leonardo's mother walked daily from her house in San Pantaleo.
We will pass by the Padule di Fucecchio, a natural area of landscape and wildlife interest, up to the famous medieval bridge of Ponte a Cappiano.
Walk with us!
