Our area is famous for its cribs, but there is also a tradition of live nativity plays. A whole village takes part, there are craftspeople, hostelries and of course a stable complete with a real baby.

Christmas decorations are going up in cities and villages across Italy, but we are still holding onto autumn with its golden colours and hanging mists in the hills. Some days the sun is so warm giving a false sense of a forgotten summer. On a dull damp day, a village festival with a neccio (a crêpe made with the wonderful smoked local chestnut flour) and the clank of the basket being turned over the fire with a glass of mulled wine warms the heart.

I often kick myself and remind myself that we live in the area where the Renaissance started but it isn't only the history and beauty of the area that I love but the food. One of our passions is the farming community in Garfagnana who produce unique varieties. These products are organic without being certified due to cost of certification. I admire their passion and knowledge and how they work together as a community. The seed bank they are creating is a treasure for the future. Please support us so we can support them.
