San Pellegrino in Alpe
Hiking Highlight
A town halfway between Tuscany and Emilia, San Pellegrino in Alpe is located just above the Radici pass and boasts an ancient history. Worth seeing here is certainly the sanctuary of the saints Pellegrino and Bianco, a place of worship as well as hospitable for wayfarers and pilgrims along the road between Tuscany and Emilia.

It is said that San Pellegrino delle Alpi, tempted by the Devil, after losing patience gave him a tremendous slap, making him cross the entire valley, until he crashed into the Apuan Alps. These were passed and pierced by the body of the Devil, leaving Mount Forato as a trace. A natural stone arch 15 meters long and twelve meters high visible, precisely, from San Pellegrino in Alpe.
