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.

San Miniato, city of good cuisine and white truffles, looks from a hill over the plain through which the Arno flows. The monumental palaces prove its grandeur, but all its charm lies in two esplanades formed by the unexpected Prato del Duomo and the square in front of the castle of Emperor Frederick II. The name San Miniato was previously followed by 'al Tedesco' (from the German.), because the city was the Tuscan residence of the German emperors from the 10th century.

A small path along the zambra, very short. Near one of the two ends of the path, the one on the Caprona side, is the beginning of the path to the Caprona fortress. It is a very wide road that can be traveled on foot or by MTB (no gravel because there are stones). At the other end is the entrance to the path (trekking but I also tried to do it on MTB with great difficulty) which climbs towards the Rocca della Verruca.
