Walking through the woods you can still find signs of the ancient farming culture and you can still see a numerous network of trails that were at onetime always used. The trails weren't just used by the local population, but also by those who travelled for commercial, civil, or religious reasons. "Via Romea peregrinorum" used to be the old Medieval that pilgrims of German origin used to use to go Rome primarily during the Jubilee years. These were routes used by people like Lorenzo the Magnificent, Marsillio Ficino, Leon Battista Alberti, Cristofero Laudino. Among the artists who went to the mountain towns are Della Robbia who went to Corniolo and La Verna, Vasari who went to Camaldoli and Ghirlandaio who went to Bagno di Romagna. You can still find traces of the travellers of the past on these trails: chapels and simple crosses remain indicating the pilgrim's routes that were sometimes still the sight of religious ceremonies; "edicole votive" in stone, also called small pillars or majesty, that rose to direct and reassure the travellers. They are still visible in the areas where the road forks or near the springs. Bridges or footbridges marked the obligatory crossings over the principle waterways. Their construction was work of great skill and up until the last century were still done in wood and rarely with the local stone.
