One of the most beautiful villages in Italy, in the heart of the Oltrepo Pavese. The small town of Fortunago (Fortünagh in Oltrepadano dialect) has just under 400 inhabitants, and stands at 483 m above sea level on the hills that divide the Coppa and Ardivestra valleys, surrounded by lush nature made up of cultivated fields, woods and vineyards.
The name reveals the Celtic origins of the place: Fortunacus has the ending -aco which is a contraction of mag, or "house by a water". In fact there is a perennial source of water here. According to others, the name refers to the goddess Fortuna, in memory of a temple dedicated to the pagan deity [source: borghipiubelliditalia.it].
Around Fortunago there are 400 hectares of protected forest, with marked routes, within an even larger hilly area, with small villages, ancient parish churches, castles (including the nearby Stefanago at the foot of which stands the renowned Stuvenagh artisan brewery - stuvenagh.com), the infinite vines, but above all the roads of wines and flavors of the Oltrepò Pavese.
