Acknowledgements
First of all, grazie di cuore to Nicola for sharing these fantastic walks and supplying GPS tracks and suggestions. Thanks to my dear parents, Bet and Dave, who survived the book’s reconnaissance stages, bashing through scrub and braving hazardous brambles in the search for elusive Etruscan tombs. Anna and Colleen came along later, then for this fourth edition Marg and Libby joined us to rediscover the mysteries of Pitigliano, while Laura guided us up and down her beloved Alpi Apuane.
Updates to this Guide
While every effort is made by our authors to ensure the accuracy of guidebooks as they go to print, changes can occur during the lifetime of an edition. Any updates that we know of for this guide will be on the Cicerone website (www.cicerone.co.uk/712/updates), so please check before planning your trip. We also advise that you check information about such things as transport, accommodation and shops locally. Even rights of way can be altered over time.
The route maps in this guide are derived from publicly available data, databases and crowd-sourced data. As such they have not been through the detailed checking procedures that would generally be applied to a published map from an official mapping agency, although naturally we have reviewed them closely in the light of local knowledge as part of the preparation of this guide.
We are always grateful for information about any discrepancies between a guidebook and the facts on the ground, sent by email to [email protected] or by post to Cicerone, Juniper House, Murley Moss, Oxenholme Road, Kendal, LA9 7RL.
