Cocciglia looks stunning from the SS Brennero, especially under a gorgeous blue sky.
Cocciglia is just one of the wonderful villages that make up Bagni di Lucca. Each one of the ancient villages has something special. Click here to see a list of the villages. There is a link to a post on each of the villages I have visited.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Cocciglia is a lovely old town, worth a visit!
Ahhhhh …
Oh, love the houses tumbling off the hillside, in true Italian rural style!
I have to share that my great uncle was the parish priest and lived in Cocciglia for many years. I had the immense pleasure of spending many weeks with my beloved uncle and his sister, a non cloistered nun. If you visit Cocciglia and make it all the way up the church, there is a little dirt path to the left, just below the concrete stairs. This takes you to the back of the house where you will come upon a fenced garden. In the garden there are 2 grottos; one has the immaculate conception statue and the other has Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. There is a statue of Santa Clause and Bambi along the walkway. You will also see a swing to the left if you are facing the house. All of this was placed there by my uncle for me. I have the most cherished memories of my childhood in Cocciglia.
How wonderful! I am leaving Bagni di Lucca tomorrow, but when I come back I will definitely go to Cocciglia and find that path.
