The paper presents the proposal, developed by a collaboration between the Universities of Florence, Pisa, and Siena, to restore the rail link from Cecina to Volterra by building a modern rack and pinion to cover the final section, which has been decommissioned since 1958. Similar to other railways reactivated in inland areas of high scenic value, it is believed that such an infrastructure could play a decisive role in the economic and social revitalization of the Cecina Valley by sustainably connecting the historic city of Volterra with one of the most appreciated areas of the Tuscan coast.

Abstract
The paper presents the proposal, developed by a collaboration between the Universities of Florence, Pisa, and Siena, to restore the rail link from Cecina to Volterra by building a modern rack and pinion to cover the final section, which has been decommissioned since 1958. Similar to other railways reactivated in inland areas of high scenic value, it is believed that such an infrastructure could play a decisive role in the economic and social revitalization of the Cecina Valley by sustainably connecting the historic city of Volterra with one of the most appreciated areas of the Tuscan coast.
