Careggine

Few communities in Tuscany have a history as closely tied to the mountain life of the Garfagnana as Careggine. This small municipality stands in the upper Serchio Valley, on the eastern side of the Apuan Alps, where wooded slopes and high roads shape everyday geography. Nearby Lago di Vagli is a reservoir formed by damming the Edron stream. When its waters are drained, they reveal the remains of Fabbriche di Careggine, a settlement submerged in 1947; its stone buildings remain a local reminder of the valley’s transformation through hydroelectric development. Careggine also provides an introduction to northern Tuscany’s quieter interior, away from the region’s celebrated art cities.
