The Villages of Gassano and Rometta Lunigiana Tuscany Italy.

Having long been lovers of Italy we explored the north seeking a region that was undiscovered by tourists, yet alive and truly Italian. We believe that in Lunigiana we found the “Hidden Tuscany", lying between the Apuane Alps and the Appennines, an unspoilt area that retained the real Italian atmosphere. Historically pilgrims from Europe passed this way on the Via Francigena as they travelled south to Rome. It was an area of fiefdoms, defensible hilltop villages, forts and castles, which to a lesser extent dominate the horizon, superseded only by the mountain ranges. The area is surrounded by six national parks, some with UNESCO status and a short drive in any direction will take you to different scenery. To the south, the busy coastal strip or the cliffs and coves of Liguria or north to the quite mountain tops and winter ski resorts.
