This ancient road was discovered on the Apennines only a few years ago, after many years of studies, theories and attempts. It is a well maked path that offers walks of medium difficulty. During a hot summer day you will find the pleasant coolness from the woods. Along the path that once leaded to Arezzo, you will see entire pieces of cobblestones of  the Roman road Flaminia Militare (187 a.C.). You can also visit Piana degli Ossi, where are the rest of Roman furnaces used for the cooking of lime (Calcium Hydroxide).   From our home it will take an hour by car.
