I found this family of mushrooms while walking in the Birch Forest of the Lame, in the Parco Naturale dell’Aveto, Liguria, Italy. I was attracted by the striking red color and the geometrical arrangement of these highly poisonous mushrooms (ideal as a condiment when you invite your mother-in-law), growing on a thick carpet of leaves.

There are many ways to reach the top, but if you follow any of the the two very scenic ridges you’ll be delighted by splendid views over the range of the Ligurian Appennines.

Climbing the Passo della Consuma in the early morning of a fall, some years ago, I was delighted by the view over the Val d’Arno. The mist still clinged to the shallow depressions and the castles and farms on top of the hills emerged like vessels in a wavy ocean. Arezzo was barely visible in [...]

I walked with a friend the whole day amid the fog, along the ridge from Passo del Faiallo to Prariondo, in the Parco Naturale Regionale del Beigua, Liguria, Italy. It felt like having thick opaque glasses. But on our way back, while crossing a sparse pine tree forest, the fog suddenly lowered and [...]
