The Shepherds' Festival at Lame di Capraia, in the municipality of Pieve Fosciana, is an event held annually on the last Sunday of July. The festival celebrates the area's pastoral traditions, with traditional dishes, music, and activities for adults and children. The festival recalls the times when shepherds, during the transhumance, gathered here to celebrate the end of the mountain grazing season with mass and a shared lunch. During the festival, you can taste typical Garfagnana dishes, such as polenta incaciata, macaroni, farro, lamb, rosticciana, sausage, cheese, homemade cakes, and neccio fritters with ricotta. In addition to food, there are activities for children, music, and, in the past, even cheese-making demonstrations. In short, the Shepherds' Festival is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient traditions of Garfagnana while enjoying local flavors.

Forest road that leads from above Passo delle Radici to Saltello; splendid panoramic point.

Landmark along the route.

San Pellegrino in Alpe.

Radici Pass area.

From Wiki: "The Apennine pass of Radici, between the Serchio and Secchia valleys, was certainly important and frequented in ancient times and became, during the Middle Ages, a place of transit for merchants, pilgrims and armies. A short distance from the pass arose a hospice for pilgrims and a church linked to the cult of the hermits Pellegrino and Bianco. Pellegrino, traditionally believed to be the son of a Scottish king, is said to have lived for years in prayer in the wild surrounding mountains and his presence is linked, in addition to popular devotion, to various stories and legends. In truth Pellegrino and Bianco have never been officially canonized. "

fantastic tour except unfortunately there is too much asphalt for my taste. The Occhiella park is always fantastic.
