This hidden part of Tuscany is pure joy for the eyes and for the soul…🦄

We explore just the entrance of these valleys and their mighty people…

The epic Apuan-Ligurian people, fearless resist to Rome and fought hardly to Roman…

Their gods still echoing in the valleys…

The Lunigiana, a land to discover and explore…

Wild mountains overlooking the sea, kept this area isolated and protected during the centuries.

You still can breath the authenticity in the area, behind the coarse sight of the locals, you a whole world to discover.

Amazing food and amazing people waiting to show you their valleys and this part of Tuscany.

Discover the unknown for special experiences 🦄

Florence’s museums are famous all around the world…
But

Florence has something that no other cities in Italy have it, the greens💚

Florence is surrounded by green hills.
Mountains up to 3.000 feet are just 20 mins away from the center.

Incredible beautiful paths are starting right in the center all the way to Bologna or bagno a ripoli o Siena or Ravenna.

Coming to Florence to take off form the list the David is very reductive.

If you don’t like hiking just go to Fiesole, by bus or taxi and enjoy the beauty of its views.

Come to Florence , take a pic and go to discover the green hills, away from the crowds.

Clients choose to visit something different and of course it was a blast 💥

Bohemian atmosphere 😍
Quietness 😋
Delicious food 🤤with the famous Tordelli (spelt torDelli and not tortelli)
No tourists 🫣

Unfortunately too much litter in some streets and in the river.
Locals respect your places, if not you whom?

Carrara has it all 🥞

Lots of talking about Florence being super busy and super touristy🍭

It seems like everything happened all of a sudden, but nobody says actually it was my fault.
Even partially but yes it’s everybody fault using social media’s or tripadvisor or any other of free information sites.

Even me though that I use it to promote Florence from a different perspective.

Things happens because we are making them happen.

Florence in 2005 when I moved there for the first time, it’s was super cool, vibrant, alive and many problems.

We argued because every shop was shutting down on Sunday.
We thought that’s crazy, I want my supermarkets be open on Saturdays and Sundays.

Then we complaint because locals weren’t that funny and bully(not all of them), much better the foreigners.

Then we complaint beacuse “che palle” only trattoria and osteria, so all kinda of food arrived in Florence.
Then we complaint because it was too expensive to fly.
Then we complaint because Florence is too expensive

Etc etc etc

We are what make things happening!!!

Florence is not sustainable as much as every single place you have to fly into.

People choose famous places and this makes everything more crowded.
Instead of doing like sheep and do exactly what anybody else,

Live your now
Let things happening
Be curious
Embrace the unknown.

This picture was taken 1 hr and half from Florence .
They are struggling to survive for no many people going there.
It’s not simple to get there but worth every moment.

Go there and make this place touristically unsustainable😂😁😂
They will love it 😍
You will love it 😍

It’s simple, we have to live simple lives.
Stay out of the box Florence 🦄
BETTER DO SPECIAL THINGS, THAN FAMOUS.

Many of you know how much deeply I hate social medias and I only use it for work.

This is the only picture that I actually took in 12 hours cycling.
I passed by sunflowers fields 🌻
Woods and roads with no cars at all
I passed by breathtaking sceneries
And
I passed by the bridge you can see in the

I could have stop 100s of times but no!
I didn’t 😎

I want to live my life not my social media’s life, as all of us should do it.

The picture was taken to prove that I couldn’t work in the evening 😂

Long live everyone’s privacy 🥞🌻🦄

By the way I cycled 160km through and . It was free and took me a while 😂

Next trip is Florence to Rome, we are already 9 people 😁

BETTER DO SPECIAL, THAN FAMOUS, THINGS 🍭

Quick visit to Piazza al Serchio and Passo di Pradarena 🏜️

3 hours drive anyway 🥹

There is a place in Chianti Classico…
Where you don’t find vineyards…
But
Roman roads
Castles
Roman bridges
Mediaeval hamlets

Feels like abandoned, stories crossing people and a terrible flood last year that wiped out little magic corners, slowly recovering.

A great itinerary designed for a friend and her family…

At the top reached after a 10 mins uphill,
you find yourself in a longboard village, built along the via cassia adrianea in the 3rd century A.C.

For now is a corner of paradise… soon might change everything.

Last month I have organised a tailored experience for a family that wanted to discover the balsamic vinegar and the Parmigiano reggiano.

Great stories, great food and great people everywhere we went.🌈⭐️❤️

We learned many things beside having a feast for lunch.

In the menu we saw even, donkey stew🤣😁❤️

We didn’t try, instead we ate 10 different types of handmade tortellini and ravioli🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Delicious!

Not ordinary experiences for extraordinary people ❤️🎈❤️

Stay special 🦋🎄

Riding with Hildebranda along the Via Francigena between Fucecchio and Siena was marvellous ⭐️❤️⭐️

Enjoying every moment, every km, every uphills and every downhills.
Every mistaken turns and every great view.

Following one of the greatest routes of Europe for 84 km was absolutely brilliant, I met many people walking and some riding. ❤️🌈⭐️

When I was younger I thought how crazy se these people and when I am older I think how beautiful are these people.

Each-one of them with their personal stories, their personal motivations, their failures and their successes.
They are doing something special not matter what.

Next time in Tuscany do it for yourself, do something special.

I can give the routes for free just text me:
