You then continue into Lunigiana - a lesser known but all the more beautiful part of Tuscany. The cycling takes you further to the famous cities of Lucca and San Gimignano, the Manhattan of the Middle Ages, before you embark on one of the most beautiful stretches along Via Francigena to finally reach Siena which seems to live on from the 14th century.
