Valdicastello Carducci
Before reaching Valdicastello Carducci, we fnd the renowned mman church of the Saints Giovanni and Felicita, at "la Pieve".
This church is named in a document dating from the year 855, but surely more ancient in origin.
The befhower dates from ihe XVl century.
Leaving Pietrasanta and going south along via Garibaldi, turning left towards the hills, at the town cemetery, starts via Comunale di Valdicastello.
Three kilometers ahead, at the urban center we find the Casa Natale di Giosu?è Carducci (the very house where the great poet,winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, was born).
Casa Carducci is a nationa l monument and all year round it is visited by many tourists, specially students.
It is the well preserved house where, in 1835, was born. Its collection consists of precious objects and various documents relatedto his life. Outside, in the garden, there is a marble bust of
the poet.
