Welcome to Plein Air Valleriana!

     Valleriana is the collective name of the ten castled-villages in the hills north of Pescia, in the district of Pistoia, in Tuscany, Italy.   Its older name is Svizzera Pesciatina, because a man named  Jean Charles Leonard Simonde de Sismondi saw a resemblance of these hills to his native Switzerland.

     We hope that you enjoy perusing this site to become acquainted with this section of paradise and that you will come visit our area soon!
