Passo della Futa

The Futa Pass or La Futa Pass (Italian: Passo della Futa) is a pass in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, at an elevation of 903 m (2,963 ft). It is located in the comune of Firenzuola, in the Metropolitan City of Florence. It separates the valleys of Mugello and of the Santerno River, and the Tuscan–Romagnol and Tuscan–Emilian Apennines. The nearby Raticosa pass, also within Firenzoula, is just a few kilometers away In antiquity and the Middle Ages it was the only point of access to the Santerno and Senio valleys from Tuscany. In 1759, the Strada statale 65 (Firenze–Bologna) was completed: since then the pass has become one of the busiest for crossing the Apennines.
