Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Lucia and Bruno Giovannetti are enthusiastic cyclists who own a working farm/bed-and-breakfast in the Garfagnana, a little known region of northwest Tuscany. Living in the region has given them an understanding of the local forests, mountains, and remote villages. Their detailed knowledge of the Garfagnana is seen in the succinctly described bicycle routes to the edges of the Apennines and the Apuane Alps that border the region.

The color photographs that illustrate the guide are by the authors. English translation by Peter Barrow.
