The Casentino is the name of the upper valley of the Arno. It is approached by two roads. The principal one connects Florence with Arezzo and runs north and south through the valley, entering it via the Consuma pass at the Florence end and at Giovi at the Arezzo end. The second road comes in from Romagna across the Mandroli pass. Up-stream from Arezzo to Bibbiena the valley is narrow and winding. It then widens out as far as Pratovecchio to form a perfect amphitheatre of gentle slopes rising to the Pratomagno ridge on the west and on the east to the heights dominated by Mt Falterona, in which Camaldoli, La Verna and Catenaia are situated.
