In Firenzuola we suggest a visit to the Pietra Serena Museum, which is found in the civic palace called La Rocca. It is dedicated to the excavation and traditional working of stone from the nearby Moscheta, where, apart from doing easy walks and horse rides, you can visit the 1,000-year-old Vallombrosan Abbey and its Museum of the Historic Landscape of the Mugellan Apennines.
Having left Florence, we head towards San Pellegrino, Coniale and Tirli, reaching Palazzuolo Sul Senio after about 30 kilometres on a fairly empty road. This well-preserved medieval town, crossed by the river Senio, has in its main piazza the 14th-century Palazzo dei Capitani, which is the seat of the Genti di Montagna Museum and the Archaeological Museum of the Upper Mugello. Not far is the 15th-century Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Nevi di Quadalto.
Eventually we reach Marradi, the town where the poet Dino Campana was born and lived. It has a noteworthy historic centre with important palaces, the extremely elegant, late 18th-century Teatro degli Animosi, and the church of San Lorenzo, which keeps some incredible paintings from the end of the 1400s by the Maestro di Marradi.
