Sheep grazing above San Pellegrino in alpe

San Pellegrino in Alpe, an ancient village located at 1525 m. above sea level, was born on the remains of San Pellegrino, who died in the distant 643 AD.

Legend has it that the young S. Pellegrino, son of Romano, king of Scotland, renounced the crown, abandoned his homeland and began a long pilgrimage through Europe, reaching by “divine” order the forest of the Alpe, located among the beech forests of Garfagnana and the barren peaks of Cusna, Rondinaio and Cimone.
