Tiglio in autumn

I can’t get enough of the fabulous Tiglio tunnels on the way into Fornoli and Ponte a Serraglio. They look amazing in each season, but autumn is special.

Autumn delights

Autumn is a wonderful time of the year in Bagni di Lucca. This year the weather has been glorious.

One of the best things about autumn is the delicious produce. There are chestnuts, cachi, pomegranates, clementines, pumpkins and porcini mushrooms.
