Barberino di Mugello is a town of about 10,000 inhabitants located halfway between Florence and Bologna. Its medieval village, historically important center for the economy and agricultural activities of the area, is located at the foot of the hill on which stands the ancient Castello dei Cattani. Its direct connection with the Futa Pass and the Crocetta pass makes it a very popular destination for racing bike rides among the surrounding Apennine peaks.
