Where every village has a legend, every stone tells a story, every path hides a secret

Northern Tuscany is not just about nature, art, and good food. It is an ancient land, where saints and witches, knights and ghosts, hermits and poets coexist. Here, behind every half-open door and among the quiet alleys of the villages, timeless legends are hidden, true stories that seem like fairy tales, and curiosities that surprise even the most experienced travelers.

If you are naturally curious, if you love unusual details, medieval atmospheres, and unsolved mysteries, this is the trip for you.

Curiosities, legends, and oddities to discover

The Witch of Coreglia
In the village of Coreglia Antelminelli, there is a story about a woman who treated people with herbs but was accused of witchcraft. Her house still exists… and so does the mystery.

The Ghost of Castiglione Castle
Every night, they say, a knight wanders among the towers. Betrayed or in love? It’s up to you to find out.

The plaster figurine museum
Also in Coreglia, a unique museum tells the story of the “figurists,” Tuscan artists who brought plaster all over the world… long before souvenirs.

The Ghost of Fosdinovo Castle:

ghost of a young lady with blonde hair who, it is said, lived a licentious life. As punishment, she was condemned to wander for eternity within the walls of the haunted manor
