The legend of Toiano centers on the unsolved murder of Elvira Orlandini, known as "Bella Elvira," killed in 1947 while walking to a spring in the woods of the abandoned village. The crime, which occurred during Corpus Christi, made national headlines and remains an unsolved mystery. The story helped create Toiano's reputation as a ghost town, fueling legends of sightings of her spirit and legends of the town's possible depopulation.

The town is rather run down and disappointing, but the views you see along the way are spectacular.

A bit hidden, but really impossible to miss. The last 2-3 hundred meters are on a gravel road. Worth seeing!

The first third of the route is good. The second third is very overgrown and hard to get through. A strimmer or machete would really help on this section. The final third of the route is good.

Unfortunately, some stray dogs where running around making lot of noice.
