“From castle to castle – Along the via delle Rocche” is the last event of the widespread festival which celebrates the first birthday of “La via delle Rocche” and which has achieved great success for all the events in the program. Saturday 16 September, starting from 8 in the morning and for the whole day on the calendar, there is a guided trek from the Melagrana tower to Rocca Cerbaia.
“It is a beautiful route, which in addition to touching two of the Rocche del Cammino, will give the opportunity to immerse oneself in the beautiful landscape of Calvana, along the ancient medieval streets that crossed the territory, and to touch some historical places of great charm, such as the village of Mezzana restored by the Rebuilding Fathers in prayer and the parish church of Montecuccoli”, explain the councilors of Cantagallo Maila Grazzini and Vaiano Beatrice Boni, illustrating an event that the two Municipalities promoted together, with the collaboration of the Cdse Foundation and Legambiente Lawn.
The route will also allow you to get to know some realities of valorisation of products and territory such as the Frantoio della Valle del Bisenzio and the Agriturismo Santo Stefano.
The trek includes a maximum of 50 people, is led by Legambiente guides Giulia Padovani and Tommaso Chiani and enriched by the historical, archaeological and legendary explanations of Luisa Ciardi and Alessia Cecconi of the Cdse.
