On the Apennine side of the Garfagnana and Mid-Serchio Valley, at an altitude of 1,525 metres, lies the village of San Pellegrino Alpe, the highest village in the Aapennine mountains, once a stronghold for the territories defence system. It’s there, in Il Santaurio di San Pellegrino, a sanctuary for pilgrims who came to pay homage to Saint Pellegrino and Saint Bianco, where you will find the dead saints, who have been lying-in-State for at least 1000 years, Unfortunately, it is a good forty minute drive from Val di Pozza, art vacations in Italy, otherwise we would take our guests at Art Toscana, painting holidays in Italy, to sketch and paint there.
