Tuttavia, nonostante l'età, qualche quattromila me lo concedo ancora.

A walk on the gravel paths, where half a century ago I often trained in preparation for Skyrunning races.
Today I wanted to retrace part of the trail that crosses the scree slopes of Al Burlù (Val Burlù) and Al Grömèla (Val Grumella), which, morphologically, are very different from half a century ago

A short walk in the warmth of the sunny woods overlooking Lake Endine, observing the butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus) and the first blooming hellebores (Helleborus niger), once used in herbal medicine to combat mental illness and madness.
Following the forest path that leads to Ranzanico, then turning

It's already late afternoon, and time is short. The sky is leaden, but dry and doesn't promise rain, and the temperature is pleasant and windless.
However, I want to get moving; so I decide to visit the Church of Santa Maria in Acone, which I've never seen before.
Leaving the village of Montebonello, just

It had been decades since I returned to the scene of the "crime," where my friend Cardinal Luciano celebrated my wedding, concelebrating with other priests in a very private and secretive ceremony.
Today I decided to return by mountain bike, taking advantage of the good weather, first riding along the

A solo ride, with leaden skies and a chill at altitude (4°C).
The paved but narrow road leading to Acone has an average gradient of 8% up to Case Lori, then continues on a slight slope to Acone.
Then the road climbs steeply to Prati Novi, mostly on asphalt with several concrete sections, with an average

A pleasant hike across an endless, rustling bed of beech leaves. Winter temperatures with frost at the start (2°C); warm at altitude (15/20°C) where the sun reigned supreme. A splendid, clear, and windless day.
Abundant signage, with routes that can be varied as desired.
Upon reaching the Bivouac and the

A pleasant, solitary ride through the Florentine hills, among vineyards, olive groves, and castles.
The various climbs average between 7% and 10%, but if you ride in bursts, you'll easily encounter short stretches of 15-20%.
The route winds mostly along quiet country roads; however, as they are narrow

A short stroll in Figline to visit the ancient Serristori Hospital, mentioned in documents dating back to the 1400s. The weather was very humid, with dense, compact clouds over the hills.
The current historic structure dates back to the 16th century, and the statutes and regulations that defined its organization

The idea was to retrace, to see its current state, a high-altitude trail (Ol Sentèr di Tinche), which enters the heart of Al Burlù (Burlù Valley) and descends from Botta Bassa to Endine. The trail isn't marked on maps, but I reopened it a few decades ago. It's very picturesque and spectacular in some
