Discover Lammari: History, Nature and Mountains

Historical traces and spiritual connections

In the 13th century, Lammari had a “Spedale” dedicated to Santa Maria and run by the Compagnia della Croce di Lucca. A historic route reached the Lammari area, where pilgrims could rest in the Chiesa di San Jacopo. The dedication to Santa Maria and the management by the Compagnia della Croce di Lucca give the Spedale a religious context. At the same time, the pilgrims’ rest in the Chiesa di San Jacopo connects the spiritual history with the course of the historic route. For those interested in culture, this focus lies in Lammari and in the area reached by the route. When planning a day devoted to culture, the Spedale, route and Chiesa di San Jacopo can form a separate thematic section alongside the natural and cultural attractions in the surrounding area.

Parco “Ilio Micheloni” and Laghetti di Lammari

Parco “Ilio Micheloni” is located next to the Laghetti di Lammari. In terms of landscape planning in Lammari, this direct proximity creates a clear nature-related focus. Those who wish to conceptually separate culture and nature can include the park and Laghetti in a separate section. The Spedale and historic route remain reserved for the history theme. This gives the two places an independent role in the day’s itinerary, without mixing the nature section with museums, palaces or mountains. The other themes can then be considered separately.

Museums and palaces in the surrounding area

The Mostra Etnografica Perm.te per un Museo Contadino della Piana di museum is located in the surrounding area of Lammari. Villa Torrigiani is also a museum in the surrounding area of Lammari. Villa Mansi is a palace in the surrounding area, and Villa Reale is also a palace there. The ethnographic museum provides a distinct focus within the cultural theme. Those interested in culture can organise the cultural section around museum and palace themes. Anyone interested in the ethnographic museum can keep this topic separate from Villa Mansi and Villa Reale; Villa Torrigiani remains a separate museum reference alongside them. This makes it possible to include the museums and palaces in personal travel planning independently of the Spedale and the Chiesa di San Jacopo, without conflating the different cultural themes.

Mountains around Lammari

Monte Crocefisso is a peak in the area surrounding Lammari. M. Moraglio is a mountain in the area surrounding Lammari. Monte Serra is also a mountain in the area surrounding Lammari, as is Monte Cascetto. The mountain focus directs attention beyond the local history and cultural attractions to the landscape around Lammari. Those who wish to plan nature and culture separately can note Monte Crocefisso, M. Moraglio, Monte Serra and Monte Cascetto as individual landscape points. The geographical statement for each of these places remains limited to the area surrounding Lammari. When planning the day, the mountains can therefore be considered separately from the park, Laghetti, museums and palaces.
