The Sword of Cosimo refers to Cosimo Serristori (1646-1713), a nobleman who lived in the castle of Vitiano. The first place, the Sword of Cosimo, can be reached by turning at the height of the parish church of San Martino, along the Sr71, in the direction of Fondaccio. After two kilometers, the car must be left in the locality of La Pila to continue half a kilometer on foot in the direction of the Tower, or what remains of the ancient castle of Vitiano documented since 1098.
