Mugello is a rural area close to the town of Florence, in our little farm we have olive trees for oil, vegetables and flowers garden and it is 4km far from Vicchio, the next village. Landscapes here are really nice and many renaissance painters was coming from this lands. Two horses, three cats, some chickens and a dog, is the team.
