About the Author:
As
coordinator of Trekking Italia's U.S programs, David Leibowitz
works to bring student groups to Italy to appreciate both the cultural
and natural beauty of the country; more often than not the two are
found side by side. On Trekking Italia's programs, for example, a
group may tour Florence for several days, staying at the homes of
Italian high school students, but also walk through the vineyards
of Chianti, the Apuane Alps above Carrara, or the Cinque Terre coastal
villages on the same tour. Trekking Italia's programs may be custom-built
for each school. For more information on their school programs or
those for adults please contact the U.S. office of Trekking Italia,
1-800-295-2215 or trekkingitalia@excite.com. At their main office
in Italy, please contact Raffaello Mosca, 02-8372838 or info@trekkingitalia.com.
Vibrant
Valtellina
Many of the
valleys off of Lake Como have little in the way of arable land. The
greatest is the east-west running Valtellina.
The
Garfagnana
Great mountains dominate the eye as one enters the heart of the ancient, rustic realm known as the Garfagnana, whose name derives from 'great forest'.
