Pontito is administratively a frazione of the comune of Pescia, in the Province of Pistoia, Tuscany.
==Location and description== It is one of the localities called Dieci castella (Ten castles) of the Valleriana area, otherwise called ("Switzerland of Pescia"). It is located in the northernmost part of the Valleriana area. Pontito is an ancient village with its old stone houses in an almost total solitude, perched on a hill of 745 meters above sea level. The village is famous for is bell shape, obtained in accordance with the characteristics of the hill on which it has arisen. The bell shape widens as the altitude diminishes.
