With the whole of Europe sweltering under a prolonged heat wave, the task of producing a 30 minutes scripted show every week is proving to be a bit too taxing on our little team. That's why for the summer we've decided to keep things pithy and leave room for those quirky stories that were a bit too short to make it to the regular show. This week the summer edition of What's Up Tuscany will bring you near the Raticosa Pass, up on the Appennini between Tuscany and Romagna. Here you will learn why a darker than usual mountain has given birth to one of the weirdest legends of Tuscany: the Sasso di San Zanobi. You will learn why its unusual position was the result of a strange race between a feisty holy man and the Devil in person. If you stick around until the end of the episode you'll also know why this saint is so close to the heart of the people of Mugello and why one of his miracles might be the reason for the incredible taste of the goat cheese of this area. Let us know if you like these shorter, less ambitious episodes or not by dropping us a direct message on social media or an email. It might take a while, but we answer to everyone!
