Bardine Di San Terenzo: Remembrance and Hiking Trails

Bardine di San Terenzo lies on the right bank of the stream of the same name. The watercourse is an immediate reference point in the landscape and gives Bardine a clear spatial framework.

History, Remembrance, and Local Character

A large stele in Bardine commemorates a partisan attack on a convoy in which 17 German soldiers were killed, thereby placing a specific event at the center of remembrance. The Monumento ai caduti bears a dedication to the fallen of Bardine from the years 1915–1918 and 1940–1945, as well as to civilian victims. The small Church of Sant'Agostino in Bardine di San Terenzo dates from the 18th century and complements the commemorative connection with an older architectural reference.

For those interested in culture, both a partisan attack and the dedication to fallen soldiers and civilian victims may be central points of focus in Bardine; Sant'Agostino complements this historical perspective.

Bardine is one of the places in the municipal area of Fivizzano marked by the “Luoghi e Sentieri della Memoria” project. Every year, commemorative ceremonies are held on the anniversary of the San Terenzo Monti massacre. Bardine is assigned to the municipal area of Fivizzano, while the anniversary refers to the San Terenzo Monti massacre. The recurring date gives this remembrance a fixed temporal reference.

Hiking Trails Between the Stream and Olive Trees

The Sentiero 201V from Bardine to Maestà della Cima is signposted and 2.4 kilometers long. The Sentiero 201 connects San Terenzo and Cecina over a distance of 6.3 kilometers. This provides two routes of different lengths and with different local references for planning a day. At the same walking speed, the longer route takes more time than the shorter one. This makes it possible to tailor a hiking day to the desired distance and the respective route.

Along the way, beautiful views open up of Pizzo, Sagro, and Torre di Monzone, as well as of the surrounding villages. The hiking trail passes through sections cultivated with olive trees. The views provide several specific sights to focus on during the day. The sections cultivated with olive trees add a landscape reference to the route that can be taken into account in planning alongside the distance.
