	DolceVita Travel: Garfagnana
		To make life even more difficult, the Garfagnana has a long history as a border region: for centuries it was subject to numerous bloody power struggles, the Empire, the Papacy, Florence, Massa, Pisa, and Lucca, which dominated the Middle Ages, all intriguing for the territory.
		The Garfagnana was finally taken by Modena's Este dynasty (which ruled the zone from the early 15th century to the Italian unification of the mid-19th century, interrupted only by the Napoleanic era).
		Recently the Garfagnana, located in the extreme northwest corner of Tuscany along the border with Emilia-Romagna, is witnessing a new prosperity thanks to growing appreciation by both travelers and gourmands.

	BBC - h2g2 - Garfagnana, Tuscany, Italy
		The delights of Tuscany are well known to Britain's middle classes, but their forays tend to be confined to the major city destinations such as Florence, Siena and Pisa.
		Garfagnana is basically the area around the valley formed by the Serchio river, bounded on the west by the Apuan Alps, a branch of the Alps proper which stretches down Italy's western seaboard, and to the east by the Apennine Mountains.
		Garfagnana does allow access to the traditional tourist cities of Lucca, Pisa, and - at a push - Florence, but its appeal lies more in its isolation, its lack of tourism and its striking scenery.

		The Garfagnana territory, situated in the northern part of Tuscany, at the border with Emilia Romagna, between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Appennine, contains a large amount of naturalistic treasures.
