Loro Ciuffenna. Dramatic gorge that runs through the middle of the town and nice street cafes. A perfect place for picture taking.

Thanks for posting this - it looks just stunning! I've been Googling to try to find out whether that gorge was of glacial origin, since it looks a lot like gorges in the Finger Lakes region of NY. So far no luck. Did you learn about the geology of the region?

Wow, this place looks fantastic and so photogenic and only about an hour's drive from Florence. I'm curious how this has managed to stay off of most tourists' radar. One of Italy's 'undiscovered' wonders. Thanks for sharing.

well, every place Rick Steve suggests is soon to be swamped with tourists. Don't think this little town could handle it. Should have kept my mouth shut

One of my favorite village towns in Italy.

"Should have kept my mouth shut." Too late for that, anyway it seems the Rick Steves tour folks already have it on their itinerary.
