The historic aqueducts are not only admirable monumental works, they’re also the roots that link cities to the nature that surrounds and supports them.

Following them surely means to be fascinated by the genius and efforts of those who made them, but also to rediscover, behind the seeming opposition between man and nature, an original and unique bond: like forest trees, cities also need water to grow.

In Tuscany, you can explore the Viadegli Acquedotti, a beautiful hiking trail between Lucca and Pisa, following the Nottolini and Medici Aqueducts.
