Rise in the small pretty mountain village Fosdinovo. On the beautiful, winding roads you have great views of the sea and the surrounding countryside. The village lies at 550 meters altitude and exists since the 11th century. Accordingly, old houses and buildings can be found in the old core of the village. There is also a good espresso and the possibility to refill drinking bottles. You can also fill up spent grains with regional specialties. Buon appetito!

Pietrasanta

Highlight • Settlement

Pietrasanta is the most important city of Versilia (the coastal sub-region of the province of Lucca) and the capital of the artistic marble-working.
City of medieval origin, important also from the religious point of view, being located on the Via Francigena, inherited from the Middle Ages the urban layout, the fortifications with the Fortress and, above all, the Cathedral of S. Martino, the former convent of S. Agostino, the Palazzo Pretorio and numerous palaces, enclosed in the historical center.
Since ancient times Pietrasanta has been linked to the working of bronze and marble (which is extracted from the nearby Apuan Alps and was also used by Michelangelo for its masterpieces) and is now an open-air museum: in addition to the many art workshops or art galleries, you can visit and admire too in its streets and squares the works that famous modern authors such as Mitoraj and Botero, Mirò and Pomodoro have donated to the city.
There are also many Italian and foreign artists who have chosen Pietrasanta as a permanent place of residence, while thousands of tourists pour out every summer into the wide territory of the town, attracted by art, the Apuan mountains and the sea.
