A few kilometers from Florence, in the gentle rolling hills, with the elegant and stately cipress trees, the background of the vineyards and walking trails is the area of the Mugello. The countryside varies: from the wild forest where the wild boar reign, sheep and wolves to the zone of chestnut trees and olive groves, to the fields of grain and sun flowers, to the fertile land of corn and residential areas. To the nature lover of natural beauty there is much to be discovered. The National Park of the Casentinesi Forest, Monte Falterona and Campigna.
