Official Tourism Board for the valley of Mugello welcomes you in Mugello, Tuscany, where you can spend your holidays next to Florence.

The track of the Faentina line started from tracks 15 and 16 at Santa Maria Novella station occupying the Florence-Rome line as far as the junction of the “Pellegrino” from where the true and real railway track for Faenza started.

While waiting for the reconstuction of the access to S. Maria Novella, the departure station today is Florence Campo di Marte.

On leaving Campo di Marte, the line runs along the torrent Mugnone passing very close the 16th century Villa Salviati.

On the right at the top is the splendid hill of the millenary, Etruscan Fiesole.

Then the line gets out of Florence and gets ready to immerse itself in the suggestive landscape of the Apennines. It passes the short tunnel of “Monterinaldi” and the “Spiccarello” one just under the lee of Fiesole, getting out at Pian di Mugnone and reaching Caldine/Fiesole station.

After, the line goes through the tunnel of S. Andrea a Sveglia which is completely curved on the left side and then through the 3,584.30 metre long tunnel of Pratolino which is the second in length along the Faentina line after the one of the Apennines or the Allocchi.

The line gets out again just a little beyond the village of Fontebuona in the narow valley of the torrent Carza. The railway passes Vaglia and San Piero a Sieve Stations and crosses the river Sieve to enter into the heart of the Mugello.

The line cuts the main road that goes to Scarperia-Il Giogo-Imola and passing very close to this road on the right and the river, it reaches the station of Borgo San Lorenzo.
