Corfino - borgata di montagna

The village of Corfino, at the foot of Mount Pania and near the Orecchiella, is located at an altitude of about 850m. From the town some paths start which, through the greenery, reach the mountain above. The village is certainly worth a visit, often pretty stone houses and typical of a small mountain center, a holiday resort, especially in the past, as evidenced by some former hotels along the road that leads to the main square, where the church and the bell tower already visible from the valley below. The square also offers a view over the whole valley, the Apuan Alps can also be clearly seen. Passing from the street behind the bell tower, you can visit the oldest part of the town which seems to have been born, as the first settlement, in 1212 inside a fortress; in a small square there is still the old source of water used by the inhabitants.
