An ultra-marathon run to get to know Florence (Italy) and its most famous hills: Settignano, Fiesole, Monte Ceceri. Firenze Urban Trail 45 km is half way between Urban and Cross-country Trail. The starting point is in Piazza Santa Croce at 8.30 am on Sunday, with a beautiful route unwinding in Piazza Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery Lodge, the Ponte Vecchio and Piazza Pitti going up as far as Monte alle Croci and San Miniato. Then down to the Arno, crossing Albereta Park and then along the bank of the Arno until Girone, then up the steep climb to Settignano. A single track in the wood up to the splendid Castel di Poggio and then the heart of Fiesole with its views and hidden lanes. A real trail up to the top of Monte Ceceri, where Leonardo da Vinci tested his flying machines, then downhill to the quarries of Maiano and back to Settignano. All of this with Florence at your feet.
