Pontepetri

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Pontepetri is a locality in Tuscany, a small hamlet of the comune of San Marcello Piteglio, from which it is 10.27 kilometres distant, located near the border with the comune of Pistoia, at about 700 m above sea level. It lies on the boundary between the Reno Valley and that of the Maresca Stream, at the point where the latter watercourse flows into the former. The origin of the village probably dates back to the mid-1600s, although small clusters of huts likely existed earlier. It grew in importance only after the construction of the road commissioned by Leopold of Lorraine, known as the Ximeniana.
