TECHNICAL DETAILS LOCATION Unspoiled nature, traditions, history: the Garfagnana, set between the Serchio Valley and the Apuan Alps, is a charming site, rich in unforgettable countryside. The Garfagnana is an immense, 150,000-acre park containing forests and other intriguing sites, including a series of natural caves, the most famous of which is the "Cave of the Wind", as well as natural canyons, including the "Orrido di Botri", plus nature reserves, such as that of the Orecchiella. The splendid village of Barga, adopted home of the poet Giovanni Pascoli, is a medieval village of rare beauty in the heart of the Garfagnana zone, in the immediate vicinity of Lucca. It has been awarded major tourism citations, such as the "Slow City" recognition, in addition to being judged one of Italy s most beautiful towns. Various wine and food routes can be travelled to taste typical local products and savour culinary traditions handed down from generation to generation. Over the centuries, Barga has grown up around a small Longobard church first mentioned in a document dated 998. With the passing of time, the church was included within the defensive walls of a much larger castle, of which it became the summit, under the first feudal lords, the Longobard family Rolandinghi. It was later part of the Marquisate of Tuscany, as a free city under the favour of Countess Matilde of Canossa, whose privileges were to be confirmed under the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa I. In the 13th century, Barga fell under the influence of Lucca. Following the death of Castruccio Castracani, Barga voluntary placed itself under the rule of the Florentine Republic, obtaining exemptions from numerous duties and taxes. In 1400, after being besieged by Piccinino, a military adventurer at the services of the Visconti family of Milano, Barga, which repelled the attack with the aid of Francesco Sforza, went on to enjoy a lengthy period of peace that lasted until the Napoleonic occupation.
