Fornovolasco is a tiny mountain village in Garfagnana, in the province of Lucca, nestled between the majestic Apuan Alps. It is a place where time has stopped and the remaining inhabitants are just over thirty. The history of the village was written by miners, lumberjacks and charcoal burners, and to preserve their memory there are those who created a park along the Battiferro stream, which was once the center of the local economy. Here there are those who, even today, carry out the jobs of the past, such as lumberjacks and shepherds and each inhabitant must face a hard life without the entertainment offered by modernity. But they are happy like this, happy to live in an uncontaminated place and to feel connected to each other as if they were one big family.
