This side is ideal to perform repeated, in the early months of the year it is easy to meet other professionals who train. We go down to Lamporecchio and then again on the San Baronto by the harder side. We go down to Vinci and proceed to Vitolini to address the Pinone, another celebrated ascent of Tuscany. Final direction of Carmignano that allows us to relax the muscles.Located 349 meters above sea level San Baronto historically has grown as a country around the church, which was a monastery until the eighteenth century, and which has therefore been the central focus, the pole of attraction of the community. Being situated along the 'important pass of Montalbano, beyond which go down towards the plain of Pistoia and Prato, San Baronto is really a terrace from which you can dominate much of the surrounding plains.
