The road from Vergemoli to Gallicano is narrow and winding. It is also incredibly beautiful, especially right now in autumn. On my drive yesterday I kept stopping the car to take photos. It was a misty, drizzly day, which I think made it even more gorgeous.
Come for a drive.
This is where I come into Vergemoli from the track down from Casa Debbio. My nearest neighbour, Vittorio lives here. He makes great pizzas.
Here is a view from the edge of Vergemoli.
…and looking back towards the village.
…down to the road I was about to drive on.
This pretty house is not far from Vergemoli. I would love to know its history.
A bit further along the mountains and valley come into view.
The autumn colours will soon be gone.
I saw an amazing tree and looked for a place to stop so I could get a reasonable photo. It is enormous. It grows from the bottom of the valley almost up to the road. I could not capture all of it because of the smaller trees and shrubs in front of it.
On the way back home I stopped to capture the persimmon tree of another neighbour.
Up the hill towards the road home.
How lucky I am to be here in this gorgeous season.
This morning I woke up to blue sky and this spectacular cloud. It didn’t last long before it changed shape and drifted off.
Tomorrow, Sunday, Tuscany changes from orange to red, meaning severe restrictions will come into place. I will be staying at Casa Debbio except to go down the mountain occasionally to buy food. I am in a safe and beautiful place, but I hope this does not last too long.
