In this book, Pasetto, takes us along the routes of the Casentino valley illustrating the stories and art that make these places most evocative. A careful and precise assessment of the routes to be taken, exact diagrams of the slopes and altitudes as well as the subdivision of the routes to allow both the improvised walker and the seasoned trekking enthusiast to be able to wander in the pleasant company of Pasetto's experience through the woods of this wonderful valley of Tuscany. Pasetto has transfused into this work his passion as a historian and an amazing knowledge of the trails that mark the upper Arno Valley. The section devoted to historical information, which makes the Guide truly unique, derives from ancient memories, unpublished documents, popular legends, and archaeological finds: such information shows how much in Casentino the moving beauty of the landscapes, is married with an extraordinary historical depth, which in many cases takes the reader back as far as the Etruscan civilization. Those who allow themselves to be "guided" along this cultural trail have the opportunity to rediscover the richness of the upper Arno Valley: the merits of the civilizations that have overlapped, delivering extraordinary evidence of all kinds to the present. At the end of each trail is information about the forests, now the National Park of the Casentino forests Monte Falterona and Campigna.
