Valdarno Inferiore (not to be confused with Valdarno Superiore in the province of Arezzo), lies between Pisa and Florence. It is an area crossed by the Arno River-rich in history, excellent food, beautiful landscapes-bounded to the north of the river by the Cerbaie hills<\/strong><\/em> and to the south by the Hills of San Miniato<\/strong><\/em>, the largest truffle area in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vespa itinerary starts from San Miniato<\/strong>,<\/a> the city of the white truffle<\/strong>, which is located along the ancient Via Francigena<\/strong>. This is why the Germanic emperors chose it as a stronghold. Its strategic proximity to Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca made it a strategic point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who enjoy slow tourism can traverse its territory by following the ancient route of armies and trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit to its lovely historic center is characterized by the rich cultural offerings that combine civil and religious buildings. Don’t miss the Town Hall<\/strong> with the splendid Hall of the Virtues<\/strong>, the Cathedral<\/strong> <\/a>with the Diocesan Museum<\/a><\/strong>, and the Tower of Frederick<\/a><\/strong> from which there is a splendid 360-degree view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
