Fornoli Chain Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Fornoli bridge is certainly less famous than the nearby Devil's bridge, but still not to be missed. Built at the behest of Carlo Ludovico di Borbone, the bridge is also called Ponte delle Catene and recalls the famous connection to Brooklyn, in miniature.

The Lima, or rather “La Lima”, as the valley dwellers affectionately call their river, originates in the Sestaione valley.

The Lima is fed by a complex network of tributary streams in the highlands, which bring snow, spring and rain water. In its course towards the sea, just after crossing the town of Bagni di Lucca Terme, the watercourse up to that point, of a torrential type, also given the conditions of the terrain, calms down and widens flowing into the Serchio, another river that originates in the Apennines, crosses and characterizes the life and environment of the nearby Garfagnana, a small and green historical-geographical region and a large part of the entire province of Lucca.
