Rocca di Camporgiano

Highlight • Castle

Camporgiano is located on the right bank of the Serchio River, in a verdant valley that divides the mountain ranges of the Apuan Alps and the Apennines. Of Roman origin, the town was contested by numerous families and lordships since the Middle Ages; in 1446 it became part of the dominions of the Este family, until the Unification of Italy. The undisputed “star” of Camporgiano is the Rocca Estense, built on a rocky spur, and whose bulk dominates the main square of the town. At the top of the Rocca there is a sort of hanging garden in which some conifers stand out, giving the fortress an unmistakable character, dialoguing from afar with the fir trees that cover the heights of the surrounding reliefs. The fortress was built for defensive purposes in the 15th century and is an emblematic example of Este military architecture of the 15th century, with its trapezoidal wall and truncated conical corner towers protruding from the plan profile. Once the medieval center of the city, today the fortress does not retain much of its original structure due to the earthquake that struck the entire area in 1920. At the foot of the fortress you can also admire a stone fountain traditionally called the pilon.

The main tower of the fortress houses the Civic Collection of Renaissance Ceramics, which brings together ceramics from a period ranging from the early fifteenth century to the second half of the seventeenth century, mostly found in the wells of the fortification during restoration work.

Church of Piazza al Serchio

Highlight • Religious Site

The stone facade, divided by pilasters, clearly bears the sign of an elevation. The architrave of the portal recalls works carried out in the eighteenth century, when a marble statuette of the titular saint was placed in a niche above it.
The interior, with a single nave, is very posterior, the walls are marked by large arches. An 18th century canvas painting depicting Saints Peter and Paul is placed above the choir from the same era.

Orzaglia

Highlight • Settlement

Surrounded by centuries-old chestnut groves and spelt fields, Orzaglia retains its peasant vocation intact. The village is known in Garfagnana for the "tiro della forma", a traditional challenge involving throwing wheels of cheese for distance.

Orzaglia - Centuries-Old Chestnut Trees

Highlight • Forest

The small hamlet of Orzaglia, nestled on a plateau just outside the classic routes of Garfagnana, is surrounded by ancient chestnut groves and fields of spelt. Walking through these woods, you will encounter gnarled and imposing tree trunks, plants that have watched over the valley for hundreds of years and tell the story of those who cared for them generation after generation.
For Garfagnana, the chestnut was never just a tree. For centuries, it was "the bread tree": its chestnuts, dried in metati (drying rooms) and ground in water mills, yielded neccio flour — today a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) — that fed entire mountain communities during the hardest times. Masters of grafting and pruning, the people of Garfagnana have preserved dozens of different varieties over time, transforming these slopes into a true living safe of biodiversity.

San Romano in Garfagnana

Highlight • Settlement

The town of San Romano (1400 inhabitants) is located in Garfagnana, in the middle of the green valley of the upper Serchio river and is ideal for those who love to attempt trekking or mountain biking in the mountains, or simply to enjoy walking, relaxing in nature and, of course, tasting the local gastronomy.
In its nearby surroundings, in fact, are the imposing fortification of the Verrucole, the Adventure Park of Buffardello and especially the large Orecchiella Natural Park with a rich fauna and well kept paths in the green
