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
