Church of San Giusto al Pinone

Highlight • Religious Site

Located a short distance from Passo del Pinone, it is worth a visit before going back down to Vinci or Carmignano

Montalbano Antenna Tower

Highlight • Monument

Located along the Montalbano ridge. In itself witness to a beautiful environmental havoc, pa located in a strategic position between the road that leads to Pietramarina and the one that comes from Pinone and leads to San Baronto

Sant'Alluccio Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

The Tower of Sant'Alluccio, in the Middle Ages, dominated the ridge of Montalbano right where the road from Vinci passed on the other side to head towards Bacchereto. At the foot of the tower is a spring said to be of holy water.
The history of the tower is connected to the ancient hospital of the Guidi counts, which was located near the Balenaia ravine. At the time of Leonardo da Vinci, who drew it in one of his maps, it probably already belonged to the Florentine Ridolfi family.
Today the tower is part of the Barco Reale complex but is in poor condition.
In the woods there are benches and tables under wooden canopies where you can stop for a picnic or to camp out. It is very useful for trekking in the area.

Montalbano Ridge Trails

Highlight • Trail

There is something for everyone around here and it's fun. With a good leg you can also get there on gravel, but you have to keep in mind that the slopes are sometimes a bit prohibitive.

Highlight • Trail

Near the summit, at 584 meters, of Mount Pietramarina, the start of the Etrusco Trail represents a meeting and challenge place for the various people who do downhill or enduro on these paths. It is advisable to have equipment suitable for the trails.
