Pietrabuona It is located 4 km from Pescia and was an independent municipality until 1775. Its upper part, "the Castle," still bears traces of the buildings that served as the primary defense of the entire mountain area during the battles between Florence and Pisa. The Via Mammianese, which connects our mountain to the Brennero state road, runs through the town. It can be considered the "gateway" to the valley.

The Paper Processing Documentation Center collects all the interesting materials related to this topic, documenting the techniques and processing methods that have shaped the culture and history of this area for centuries.
