The Via del Volto Santo, from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana to Barga

We will cross the urbanized valley and get in touch with the traditions and lands that once were, a real journey through the history of Garfagnana countryside.

We will walk on the route of one of the stages of the Via del Volto Santo ("Holy Visage"), starting from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, the city of Ariosto. 
We will cross the characteristic Monteperpoli and the village of Cascio, where time seems to be stopped.

We will reach Barga going up the fields that surround it, then we will go up to the medieval streets and the majestic Duomo. We'll tell how, at the time of the Medici, this famous Tuscan dynasty changed the face of the territory, giving it a lustre and prestige never more replicated.
