Walking in Tuscany
UNO WANDERWAY
Fiesole – MONTECECERI – Settignano
But that ungrateful and malignant race,
Who old times came down from Fiesole,
Yes, and even advice from your raw stone mountain … is Dante's Inferno
Before leave, the best way to interpret our Settignano Montececeri Fiesole wanderway more, and then fell to Florence, is to observe from afar.
From downtown, take a bus to Piazzale Michelangelo, one of the most popular city. Standing in front of Piazzale railing to look down on the river Arno, at the top of the cathedral, and then directly to the horizon.
- Facing the river, now walk to the left and around the railing and reach a staircase that descends to a small place. At the end of this area is a board-map showing the most prominent buildings in the city and our hill.
Fiesole
The bus ride Fiesole to the city center takes twenty minutes. Along the way, we spend today being old churches, chapels, crosses, large villas once visited by the Medici family, famous artists and writers, today a little oppressed by modern high-tech buildings in what seems an intentional damage.
A century ago, at the northern foot in Fiesole Florence was only for energy. The electric train was long and tedious, and downright punishing horse dragging its freight and passengers.
Each Latin historian had something to say about Fiesole. Hiking and strange as its history may appear containing one or two grains of truth. Some have argued that it was built for the Etruscans, Pelasgians others, or even the Phoenicians. It was without doubt one of the richest and most powerful of Etruscan cities. Inevitably, a Roman proud clarion echo days in the valley of the Arno and the hills of Fiesole inhabitants were killed or ordered to kneel before the invincible legions. After the fall of Rome, then was sacked several times and has lost its inherent qualities. In the ancient Etruscan and Roman ruins and monuments of the new town was built little by little.
In the postwar years the flower girl sitting angle, aggressive street vendors walking down the street with cardboard boxes tied around her waist with their goods and pathetic beggars a little more than road-rat, is sold with powerful images holy prayers for safe travel.
Poverty has a role to fill, no social offense, for what a rispetto sings Tuscany –
I throw a palm leaf at sea:
The waters devour.
Cast Lead I see others, and –
Lo! For them, the candles.
A first footsore pilgrim with strong pastoral staff and the fabric was torn to perform once a day's drive from Florence in the hill, the steep stone path, is always there, but not equal, reminiscent distant activity and spiritual satisfaction. This traveler has given way to the bus turbo dusty flow of tourists across the crowded chamber.
Currently, Fiesole is an open space, enriching the hearing, with a number of buildings aesthetically pleasing form the personal front.
In fact, one can find secluded places to work in watercolor and a meeting of the shadows with a writer. A few minutes from the city, is the former Tuscan farmhouse with slightly drooping vine in the doorway.

How to download the bus at Piazza Mino da Fiesole's look to the Hotel de Ville, the City, the end is above the square. Before leaving, we stop to look remarkable display of heraldry in honor facade Podestà , and visit the church of Santa Maria Primerana.
Now facing the church, take the narrow path to the extreme right. This is Via Giuseppe Verdi. Look for the sign on the right wall
Panoramica Passeggiata
and above reading –
That day, April 28, 1710, a respectable eight Signori e Balia Guard (judges, bailiffs) in the city of Florence prohibits any person who played a game so it is almost the oratory of Santa Maria in 50 armlengths Primerana Fiesole where open oratory under penalty of ECU 4, a detention or arbitration.

Our walk starts now. Roads and roads that lie ahead are abundantly marked with red and white CAI (Club Alpino Italiano) fires.
The tight narrow ridge quickly enough for some minutes between the villas and houses in the refined and artistic composition to the highest levels.
You have to enjoy peace, wandering pace. To the right is establish a view of the Arno Valley and Florence and the Chianti hills in the background – a show to quench the thirst of a romantic soul. From that time the city Best viewed at dawn or at night when the sun is low and the hills along this edge advantage over the western sky.
We march forward keeping to the left Via ignoring Doccia down to the bottom right. It Montececeri Via. On the wall to the right corner of the house is a sign

After 150 m, the levels of the road again for a second view of the valley, as far as the eye can see. Via Montececeri ends after a minute and the branch is taken road to the right, Via degli Scalpellini, red and white after the CAI. A few steps forward that leads to the Via del Pelagaccio, turning left to rise as we run back and walk through a gravel road that leads straight to the wood. After 200 meters you arrive at a table on the right shows a map of the park. Path leads through today the forest. Swinging up and left at the Y-junction and first account holder to follow the red and white fire CAI in trees or rocks, in defiance of color marks blue-red, turn right about 50 meters. It takes about 10 minutes to reach a railing to the right and a wooden bench on the left. Here is another view of the Arno Valley. The football stadium in Florence is located right in the foreground and the cathedral and Palazzo Vecchio are a bit more to the right.
Descending again, we come to the race of the first stone on the left. A black hole of loss in the hills, worth a short visit cautious. These abandoned quarries, which remained active until 50 and then provided to block some of the most important buildings in Florence, are no longer within the stone gods before birth.
When what is divine in us trying to Do
To shape a face, hands and brain work together
To give, from a simple model fragile and light,
- Miguel Angel
At the junction, about 3-axis, we take the middle road in our same level as the changes to the left, after the fire of red and white. The road through the hole in the ground is hard, but soon it comes to clearing where swing left, turn the quest for fire in trees.
Looking up the cypress trees on the hill, we get our bearings and Ten minutes later, the hill keeping to the left we come to red and white on the rock –
————- MONTECECERI BORGUNTO
Maiano
This time, take the path left to Montececeri, spent his entire career on the right and the first intersection and take a few step forward, then left a short way to a view from the top of the quarry off the hills and far down along the valleys.
Retracing our steps, we follow that path, marked in red and white and after 10 minutes to get a promotion along a ramp of wood and stone stairs. The spiral path to the left until you reach Piazzale Leonardo da Vinci. Some banks and tables are available for relaxing and picnic.
The board shows its history. This site is dedicated to the memory of Leonardo da Vinci first flight of man's experience.
Translation stone column reads –
The great bird will rise to its first flight at the top of Cecere,
surprise the world and filling his fame and all written
with the eternal glory of the nest where he was born.
Leaving the Piazzale, take the wide path along the garden wall of the left, driving downhill for a few minutes a mapboard, where we turn left after the barrier of the road a small area open economy hard ground is in sight with a small picturesque church on the corner.
This is the Piazza dei Pini and Borgunto parish church, sitting as a Christian prophet in the midst of a pagan, not too far away, like all the churches of wood, may have been built in separate rooms for sacred rites and solemn honor of some pagan god of the earth.
Opposite the church, turn left wall that is marked

Settignano
Compiobbi
Sentiero degli Dei
It Peramonda Via, perhaps once a military road or highway business. After about steps along this path, we see the entrance of Fiesole Camping on the left. Starting down, bright eyes must be removed to enjoy the views over the surrounding hills with its huge farms and elegant villas valleys invite for a visit.
To the right on the main road, just minutes from the local bus to right, which is something of a clearing beside the road and down into the wood top of this area and follow the road parallel to the main road to the left above. The way through the wood will soon be facing a road near an intersection where you turn right and walk straight ahead, ignoring the barrier on the right track.
Watch carefully for signs CAI in the tree at the entrance in this way, rock, more adapted to the wheel and the hull, and hung on the long side can be rushes to the right and a crucifix, a wonderful time, but still dominates the left. One crosses miles down in Tuscany, worthy of quoting a scientist or affection of artist. The angelic young face looks down with mock humility, as if a prayer for travelers burdened by a great distance, and nowhere to go.
In the days spent in a place of worship, rest and refreshment, an information gathering point for those who could meet a farmer with a baguette under his arm, an onion in his hand, and the neck of a bottle of wine that small of pocket.
We will now move to a farm down the road and along track through an olive grove basket. These tracks can be muddy after rain and again better suited to the wheel and the hoof. A few years ago still trampling beasts could find here, the sturdy white oxen, with slow, swaying bodies, large animals have enjoyed the last two thousand years the embodiment of land-gods.
And those also, O Lord, thy humble beasts, who bear the burden and heat of the day, and offer their innocent life for the welfare of your country, ask your great tenderness of heart.
At the end of this first section we are moving into the forest, avoiding Turn right down. Near this place we can see the location where scenes from "A Room with a View" was filmed.
The walk through wood is of short duration. In the morning, a spider web Dew Laden defines all of our face and eye fur great find regurgitated owl viscous and semi-digested bone. The end of the road is another old house with a yard shy and dependencies. We make the change, below the dry stone walls and solid along a track dusty winds are waiting for September for a trip and present his new Stony skin. After 10 minutes uphill, we step on a paved road nearby.
Descend to the right is the church of San Lorenzo and road through the valley are the stone quarries Maiano face.
A few minutes on the road Vincigliata Castle is proud. In high external walls are stone tablets commemorating the number of classrooms as Queen Elizabeth and Beatrice, Battenberg, and Hohenzollern Hohenlohe and Duchess of Russia.
In the first curve after the Castle of exploration, take the left track among the trees.
"There is comfort and security in the long straight roads where life flows smoothly on. However, the genius loci appear in the Tuscan countryside behind the sudden drops and turns of the track lives under the blank spaces intact passers map. "
Now, a little uphill for the large building right renewed its status in the chapel toward the floor. The view from here in the olive and cypress trees in the direction of Florence in the background without doubt must be one of the most emotional admiration.
Not far down the road we reached a house on the corner of an intersection. Casa al Vento is. Cypress right skyscraper and in the house and go on the rough stone path on the left.
This road is rough and dusty in dry weather and slippery after rain. Olive trees right, cypress, left, and Heather larger shrubs taller than a man with small plants with a struggle for survival. After 20 minutes, we arrived at the Via del Fossataccio. On the left is a house with a temple on the wall. Register reads –
Monstra Matrem TE ESSE
Note marks on the right wall. Now go straight along Via Desiderio, the cemetery on the right and up a bit from the first houses in the city until the junction with Via S. Romano.
A right turn leads to Piazza not forget to look at the front of the curious Società Corale, building on the right just past the narrowest part of the street.
"We can walk
A candle lit by hunger, and sing
From what I remember road. "
The bus from Piazza took thirty minutes to Florence.
