Torre di Donoratico, Livorno

Tuscany

The Riserva Naturale di Tombolo near Castagneto Carducci (the village where poet Giosué Carducci grew up) is a coastal stone pine and maritime pine forest with roe deer, wild boar and porcupine. The medieval Torre di Donoratico (13th century, Della Gherardesca family) stands above the forest — the Gherardesca family imprisoned Count Ugolino (Dante's Inferno) in Pisa. Dogs welcome on the forest path.
