The territory of Abetone has always been a place of crossing of the Apennines, so much so that it is said that it was also used by Hannibal to enter Etruria. The construction of the road dates back to 1766 to unite the Grand Duchy of Tuscany with the Duchy of Modena. During construction, a fir tree so large that it could not even be embraced by six people was felled and from which the name Abetone was born.
