Garfagnana Garfagnana is located in the north of the Tuscany, very closed to some of the most important historical italian cities: Lucca, Pisa and Florence. This land of Tuscany is a real environmental miracle, an “unicum” that springs from an happy coincidence of factors: it’s originated from the Serchio river and the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano, which gives to the valley a sort of different pictures and colours thanks to the mixing of people, traditions and landscapes. It looks like a harsh mountain landscape, but it leaves room for broad valleys; very beautiful in every season from winter, perhaps the most spectacular, with the snow-covered peaks forming a breathtaking sight, to summer when it suddenly bursts into bloom. Here we find blue gentians, white jonquils, creamy asphodels and scarlet peonies. Every its corner is like a naïve art work, a splash of colour enlivening the pastel green of the pastures. Garfagnana is also known for its mushrooms, both for mycophagists, and people passionated about mycology. In some areas it is possible to find black and white truffles. Nowadays in Garfagnana we can relive the time of fairy-tales, because certain villages are like hundred and hundred years ago. The Apuan Alps are the most characteristic element in the territory, being in sharp contrast with the nearby TuscanEmilian Apennines. So we find little shelters for shepherds on the high pastures and a never tiring succession of churches, hermitages, castles and fortresses. All seems to blend with the environment in a perfectly natural way. Everywhere is evident the tireless and immutable work of nature which, throughout the centuries, has left tangible traces, such as the fascinating and only canyon in Tuscany, the Orrido of Botri, a deep calcareous gully created by Mother Nature’s indefatigable work all over the millennia, where the waters of Rio Pelago run through.
