Behind the busy SP43 lies a road which was once used for the Pistoia Rally. It climbs Monte Albano with curves and turns that are a thrill to drive. The hills that surround the road are dotted with vineyards and olive orchards, and nearby is Vinci, the hometown of Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance genius.
