FIND OUT WHERE WE ARE

THE VALLEY OF THE DEEP GREEN

We are located in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany, exactly in the central north.

Fabbriche di Vallico which is part of the municipality of Fabbriche Vergemoli dates back to the 10th century, it was a fundamental point before the unification of Italy because it was located on the border between the duchy of Modena and the Republic of Lucca.

This border was delimited by the Turrite di Cava torrent, above which the Ponte Colandi was built and under the loggias of the adjacent building there was the customs where the procedures for the pass of the products were carried out.
