For those who had not noticed jet, from a few months the Google Street View is available on the streets of Montaione.
Street View is the popular tool that combined with Google maps allows you to view the streets just as if you were virtually along.
In practice, Google car pass through the streets taking pictures at 360 degrees with a special camera. At the moment, in the territory of Montaione, the service of Google Street View, is limited to cover the streets of major importance.
The service pass by Via delle Colline in locality “Mannello” to “Poggio all’Aglione” where you can see the Roman cistern, then Via Tre Ponti in the stretch that runs from Montaione to San Vivaldo passing in front of the Sacro Monte di San Vivaldo and then from Via delle Cappella del Lupo to Castelfalfi.
In the town of Montaione, Google Street View goes from Via G. di Vittorio, rising to Piazza Gramsci (we understand that it’s passed on Friday, due to the presence of the weekly market), then continue on Viale Italia, Via Aldo Moro and Via Sanminiatese passing through the locality of Mura and down to the bridge over the river Egola.
From here, the Google Street View car has turned left towards locality Alberi but after a few hundred meters and it went back to continue on Via Casastrada.
A curiosity is that the service of Google Street View has also picked up a stretch of a few tens of meters of Route 5 for mountain biking in the countryside between Iano and Castelfalfi away from the main roads. In particular, the stretch of dirt road from “Poggio alle Forche” down to the creek Roglio. I wonder why the Google car has passed from there?
