Mountain biking

The Rocca della Verruca was an important site in the defense system of the Pisan Republic, so much so that it was called "the eye of the Pisans" because much of the territory could be controlled from up there. If a village was attacked, it would signal its request for help by waving flags, lighting fires, and ringing bells. These signals were repeated until they were seen by the Verruca, who would then repeat them, alerting Pisa.

Beautiful panoramic point... it's a shame whoever bought the wart thought it was a good idea to close it 😡
