Fiesole: e-bike, bread and extra virgin olive oil

In this tour we will discover Fiesole "the sky above Florence", the Tuscan countryside so close and yet so far from the city. I will show you the places I love, where I have spent my whole life.

You will see where Leonardo da Vinci lived and dreamed about human flight and where Dante fell in love with Beatrice. Breathtaking panoramic views of Florence, hills and fields of olive trees will surround us.

Depending on the season we will reach a monastery still inhabited by monks, at an altitude of over 800m (2600ft). We will cross the path of Via degli dei (the ancient via Flaminia Minor), the Etruscan road that crossed the Apennines mountains at least 200 years BC.

During the journey we will get some fragrant bread and fresh seasonal vegetables from local farmers, as I usually do with my family. Then we will have a small gastronomic break at Giorgio's farm, where we will eat outdoors on the farmyard tasting his extra virgin olive oil and his good wine (they are always on my kitchen table at home). 

It won't be just a tourist experience but a little adventure: this is local life away from crowded places.
