Memorial to Manrico Ducceschi 'Pippo'

Highlight • Monument

One of the most important partisan commanders of the local Apennines. He did not count himself as belonging to any political movement. After the Allied advance in the area in autumn 1944, his unit (almost 1,000 men were commanded by him) was assigned to the US American Fifth Army. Even after the end of the war he did not allow himself to be taken over by any political party and therefore had a number of arguments. In August 1948 he was found dead in his apartment in Lucca - officially a suicide, but there are also rumors that he may have been killed.'

Beautiful panorama and visual on the Riserva Oriented di Campolino: since it is inaccessible it is the only way to admire it (guided tours separately)

January 28, 2023,Ciaspole: da pian di novello a monte Poggione - anello

Beautiful, even if it is hard, Ciaspolata. After Mount Poggione the ridge path is not very clear, it needs to be invented a bit. Only a slightly exposed point, perhaps it would be better to go down in the woods before the ridge becomes sharp
