Tips from the Community
The Tempietto-Cisterna di Guamo is the intake point and the southern end of the Monumental Aqueduct Nottolini. Located in the municipality of Capannori, it was designed by Lorenzo Nottolini and built between 1823 and 1825 at the behest of Duchess Maria Luisa of Bourbon. It is a circular building in neoclassical style with the original function of collecting and filtering the spring waters of Monte Pisano, intended for the water supply of the city of Lucca. The route of the so-called "Passeggiata dell’Acquedotto" also starts from the Tempietto, following the arches to the city.

I traced this route without knowing I would have this view of Pisa and the Mediterranean. The climb has sections with steep gradients, so warm up a bit before reaching the foot of the climb. CAUTION: if you have a support vehicle, the descent does not allow two cars to pass side-by-side.

Ugo Melani, with great generosity and dedication, served as a ferryman for decades, connecting the two banks of the Arno River and allowing many residents of Riglione to reach the city of Pisa thanks to his boat. Now, thanks to the pedestrian and cycle bridge named after him, you can easily cross the Arno and reach the hospital in a flash. This beautiful bridge is worth a visit. Suitable for all types of bicycles. At the beginning of the bridge, below, there is a lovely park with facilities.
