Recently you have watched there some bushcraft and wildlife, but my first love is archaeology and the past …
I have to share with you this experience where nature and history live together!
It’s a video where I deliberately don’t speak, I want that you explore with me these beautiful ruins.
Everything started many many years ago when this fortress was built…
During the Middle age was really important for the Counts Alberti to control the Bisenzio valley.
They built this fortress at the top of a lonely hill.
The site has a complete view to the whole area!
There is a legend related to this fortress…
During a cold night, the young Dante Alighieri, the author of the poem Divine Comedy, came to the door of this fortress asking for a place to stay…
They didn’t offered it!
I hope you enjoy this place as I did my friend !
Here is the video for you!
Thanks for watching!
What an incredible fortress! I may have already said it, but last summer I got to help a team of archaeologists excavate Mayan ruins in Belize. Archeology is a fascinating subject!

Thank you my friend! Around there some have found ancient pottery and iron items. The site has a perfect 360° view!
Awesome!! One of my dream to excavate the Mayan ruins !
Yes I love archaeology and I admit… more than bushcraft 😄

I noticed that the view from the site was spectacular: a great location for a fortress! It would’ve helped the inhabitants to be able to see in all directions.
Also, on the topic of bushcraft, I’ve just published a post about one of the key individuals who helped to make bushcraft/survival popular in recent times. Here it is, if you’d like to read it:
