San Marcello Piteglio: Pedata del Diavolo
Pedata del Diavolo straddles a wooded ridge in Tuscany’s Pistoia Apennines, and its elevated position has made it part of a network of mountain walking routes. Near Rifugio del Montanaro, it belongs to the upland territory of San Marcello Piteglio, a municipality of scattered settlements in the province of Pistoia. Forested slopes and overlapping ridgelines define this quieter side of the northern Apennines, away from Tuscany’s celebrated art cities. The refuge is associated with the CAI section of Maresca, reflecting Italy’s long tradition of alpine clubs and staffed mountain shelters. It is a place shaped by paths, woodland and the practical culture of hiking in the Apennine range.

The Tuscan-Emilian Apennines define the setting of San Marcello Piteglio — wooded slopes, mountain roads and dispersed hamlets shape daily life in this inland corner of Tuscany. The municipality occupies part of the Pistoiese Mountains, far from the coastal and Renaissance-city image often associated with the region. It was created in 2017 by merging the former communes of San Marcello Pistoiese and Piteglio, bringing together settlements with their own local identities. Near Mammiano, the pedestrian Ponte Sospeso crosses the Lima valley, recalling the area’s industrial past.

Tuscany occupies a central belt between the Apennines and the Tyrrhenian Sea in Italy. Near these coordinates, the undulating Val d’Elsa extends between Florence and Siena, its farmland marked by vineyards, olive groves and historic market towns. The Elsa flows into the Arno, the river that crosses Florence before reaching the coast. Siena’s medieval centre is centred on the Piazza del Campo, where the Palio horse race takes place twice each summer. Across Tuscany, olive oil, wine and seasonal cooking remain central to local identity, while its cities hold exceptional Renaissance art and architecture.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
