From the Giro site: Campi Bisenzio Lying in the plains surrounding Florence, Campi Bisenzio has survived as an agricultural territory for centuries and until recently, when it embraced top-level industrialisation and urbanisation.Major efforts have been made to salvage, support and promote the cultural, historical and, especially, natural resources of the city, for instance by restoring natural parks and reserves.
Outstanding sights include a number of museums and villas, as well as the symbol of the city: Rocca Strozzi.
COOKING: Pasta con pecora alla campigiana
(pasta with sheep-meat sauce), traditional cold cuts, cielo stellato
(boiled-meat omelette), campigiane (custard-filled shortbread cookies),
char-grilled meat
WINE: Carmignano (red)
Sestola The history of Sestola is entwined with that of its fortress, which was erected back in the Lombard age and rebuilt several times since the 16th century. Originally a small rural village, the town started to develop a major winter and summer tourism industry by the late 19th century.

Monte Cimone is a leading attraction for sports enthusiasts during the
ski season, while Parco del Frignano, as well as the lakes and
waterfalls scattered throughout the territory, are a major destination
for hikes and field trips in the summertime.
COOKING: Parmigiano Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar, cold cuts (pancetta, prosciutto di Modena, salame montanaro, lardo), crescentine (or tigelle, round-shaped flatbread) and berlenghi (savoury pancakes), fresh pasta with mushroom sauce; erbazzone (spinach and beet greens pie) and castagnaccio (chestnut flour cake); croccante di Sestola (almond brittle), frappe (sweet fritters, similar to angel wings)
WINE: Malbo, Lambrusco (red), Prosecco (white)
The stage:
The early news:
Another year with issues for the Sky GC hope at the Giro.
Meanwhile on the road a large breakaway group formed. With 35 kilometers to go Preidler had a gap over his breakaway companions. He had 27 seconds over that group and 4:33 over the peloton.
Twenty five kilometers to go and the gap to the main peloton was 4:20. Twenty kilometers to go and six Astana riders to the front of the group. Do they have something planned or do they just want to shrink the group? Imagine the Jaws theme.
Ahead, Preidler would be caught by Cunego, Atapuma, Ciccone and Pirazzi. Cunego, Ciccone and Pirazzi would ride ahead.
In the main group, Brambilla was in trouble. It looked, as he fell off the back, that the pink jersey would change hands tonight.
Warnings on the broadcast of a scary descent ahead. 11 kilometers to go and the three leaders still had two minutes on the leaders group. It looked like the stage winner would come from the three. Word that Brambilla is only 11 minutes behind the Nibali-Valverde group. Indeed, he made it back. Ahead with a little bit of a gap, Ciccone. Charging out of the group behind, Amador and he was taking time.
Even further ahead, Ciccone, 21 and in his first Giro, would hold on for the stage win. Next in, Rovny. And then the rest would come in, not nearly as far behind Amador as we expected.
Stage: Giulio Ciccone
GC: Bob Jungels
Wine: Vigneto Saetti Lambrusco
I say: Sparkling ruby red. Very dry with sour cherries and flowers. Really came alive when paired with the Bolognese.
Food: Bolgonese again, because I needed more for my freezer stash. As always, the Marcella Hazan is my base recipe. This time I skipped the carrots and added a few leftover oven dried and frozen tomatoes.

From the importer: Luciano Saetti lives in Modena and makes an incredible DOC Lambrusco
Salamino di Santa Croce from the very local strain of Salamino. He works
completely organically in the vineyards, with nothing added in the
cellar, including sulfur. We are thrilled to be working with Luciano, a
humble dedicated winemaker.I say: Sparkling ruby red. Very dry with sour cherries and flowers. Really came alive when paired with the Bolognese.
Food: Bolgonese again, because I needed more for my freezer stash. As always, the Marcella Hazan is my base recipe. This time I skipped the carrots and added a few leftover oven dried and frozen tomatoes.
