The Rocca di Firenzuola is an imposing medieval fortress, whose current structure was built or heavily remodeled in the 14th century, serving as a crucial defensive garrison for the northern Mugello. Characterized by a quadrilateral layout and corner towers, this fortress testifies to the strategic importance of Firenzuola, located along the ancient communication route between Florence and Romagna. Today, it is the seat of the Firenzuola municipality.

At this small sacred monument, I would like to present a short quote from Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968) to the viewer of the Croce dell'Alpe. In one of the wonderfully narrated episodes—and popular far beyond Italy's borders—about the two protagonists he created, 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone,' the combative priest is outraged by certain nocturnal activities of 'the Reds'—he describes them as poisonous snakes to be crushed—and discusses how it is his custom to stand with the crucified Christ at the high altar of the church. From him, he receives the following response: "When my Father created the world, he made a very clear distinction between animals and humans. This means that humans will always remain humans... and that, consequently, they are to be treated as humans. If that were not the case, wouldn't it have been easier to destroy them instead of coming down to earth to redeem them by being crucified?" (Quote by G. Guareschi from: “The Punitive Expedition”)

Monte Oggioli I pass Turkino I only for that

beautiful forest trail, challenging in places

Caution!!! This section is VERY challenging and very exposed in many places... I STRONGLY advise against cycling along it. In many places, it's impossible... It's best to have two people to help each other carry the bikes.

Hospitality and good food.

Just above the refuge there is a remarkable view.

It's not always open. Check first.
