The countryside

Lamporecchio is located in the extreme south of the province of Pistoia. It borders that of Florence and is surrounded by the Montalbano and Valdinievole area. We are in the place where one of the geniuses of the Renaissance was born and still considered a true eclectic, Leonardo da Vinci. His hometown is a few kilometers from Lamporecchio, how can you feel in these wonderful lands?
