A very high and tight brake pedal is caused by pressure build up in the 
system.  It is usually the result of the m/cyl piston not returning all the 
way.  If your pedal is stiff and does not allow the piston to return you will 
soon find your brakes very hot and possibly locked.. Fiats loved to do  this 
and I  have rescued a few from the middle of the road.  Simply open a bleed 
screw and relieve the pressure.  Better yet, find the problem now.
