Among the most unusual ‘Befana’ festivals in Tuscany, the one at Quercia di Aulla is worth mentioning. The peculiarity is a 25-metre long stocking hung from the bell tower of the church.
Stopping in this town during dining hours offers the possibility to taste delicious local products, despite apparent simplicity, of the original Lunigiana cuisine.
The town of Aulla rises from the left bank of the Magra river and above, in a dominant position, sits the great 16th century fortress called the Brunella.
