Tuscan town with Scottish vibes
Among the highlights of the Garfagnana region of northern Tuscany is the Serchio valley, which can be explored using the railway line from Lucca. Barga is the best town with a gorgeous medieval centre and interesting links to Scotland from immigration and emigration that began in the 19th century. Try the local speciality of chestnut flour pasta with local porcini from the forests.
