To get to Casoli it is necessary to cross a tiny, narrow bridge. Turn right if driving from Bagni di Lucca, from the Brennero at the Casoli sign and take this cute bridge.
Houses were built around a castle at top of a hill and became the village of Casoli. Some remnants of the castle still stand.
At the beginning of the town is a monument to poet Francesco Puccini, who was also known as Geremia. He was born in Casoli in 1686.
The nearby Oratorio della Madonna all Fontana is well preserved.
The washing area beside the church is lovely.
Beside the washing area is one of the old mule tracks which entered the village.
There is a particularly interesting portal at the top of the track, dating from 1496.
Come for a walk through the village, starting at the church.
The village has quite a good looking bar near the car park.
Take a last look up at the village.
Then it is back down the narrow, winding road to the bridge.
Look out for the renovator’s delight opposite the bridge.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Lovely, Deborah. Although the satellite dishes add a jarring note. I wonder if they could paint those to blend in without interfering with the dish’s ability to receive a signal?
I try to avoid the dishes when I can, but there are so many of them it is not possible. I would really like to get rid of the tangle of overhead wires and put them all underground.
I hear you. Or if they couldn’t put them underground, maybe they could do what people have done in Vancouver, BC and put the wires behind the buildings.
Anything would be better than the mess that is there.
I always love your walks Debra. Coffee at Da Marina shall we?
That sounds like a good idea.
I love the Oratory! Thank you Debra! Beautiful photos.
You should visit Casoli on your next trip. I need a local to show me around the castle area, there were some things I couldn’t find.
So beautiful! I am so envious!
The villages that make up Bagni di Lucca are lovely. Each one is different and great fun to wander in.
I love these ‘walking’ posts. I think that renovator’s delight might be a bridge too far!
I think I will leave that one alone.
Beautiful photos, Deb! So picturesque!
I love wandering in these villages, there is always something interesting to discover.
