Discover Piaggione: Segromigno in Monte, craftsmanship and local festivals

Piaggione for your trip to Italy

If you are considering Piaggione as a destination for an independent trip to Italy, you can base your decision on the specific cultural and family-oriented aspects of Segromigno in Monte. There, a Thursday market, a history of wooden clog production, events and a public playground come together. When choosing a hotel or other accommodation, what matters is therefore less a general promise than which of these themes you want to shape your stay.

Market life in the centre of Segromigno in Monte

The market in Segromigno in Monte has been held every Thursday since 2000 in the Piaggiori district, in Piazza Lorenzo Lazzareschi. It is located in the centre of Segromigno in Monte, at the intersection of the two main roads, Via di Piaggiori and Via Nuova.

Park, hiking trail and playground

The nearest bus stop to Pandora Park, “Via Nuova”, is near Piaggiori. The park itself is located in Segromigno in Monte, near the Tour delle Ville hiking trail. There is also a public playground on Via Piaggiori.

Wooden clogs and craftsmanship tradition

A distinctive regional connection leads to craftsmanship. In Segromigno in Monte, the production of wooden clogs was further developed particularly from the beginning of the 20th century onwards. 3DF is located at Via Piaggiori 62 in Segromigno in Monte, Lucca, and looks back on five generations of craftsmanship. 3DF’s former activities included the manual production of wooden clog blanks. Sandy Shoes is located in Segromigno in Monte, Via di Piaggiori 281, 55012 Capannori (LU); its sample collection can be viewed at the company headquarters.

Events in Segromigno in Monte

The cultural character of the area also includes the Carnevale dello Zoccolo, an event held every three years in Segromigno in Monte, as well as “Sere d’estate a Segromigno in Monte”, also an event in Segromigno in Monte. Both events complement the focus on craftsmanship with public festivals and shared experiences.

Landscape and regional cuisine

For longer excursions, the municipality of Capannori provides a scenic setting: its northern network of trails comprises 17 routes through the wooded and mountainous area of the Pizzorne. Capannori is also one of the main areas along the tourist and gastronomic route “Strada del Vino e dell’Olio Lucca Montecarlo Versilia”. This route extends across the Lucca hills, Montecarlo, Versilia and the Serchio Valley.

Accommodation suited to your interests

Whether you choose a hotel in Piaggione or other accommodation, you can weigh these highlights against one another: the Thursday market in the piazza, the park near the Tour delle Ville, the playground, the craft businesses or the events in Segromigno in Monte. The specific locations will help you tailor your trip to culture, family time, walks or regional cuisine.
