Orto Botanico delle Alpi Apuane "Pellegrini-Ansaldi"

The garden extends across 3 hectares at 900 meters elevation in Pian della Fioba, featuring native flora from the Apuan Alps region.

The garden opened on July 22, 1966, named after botanist Pietro Pellegrini who dedicated his life to studying local plant species from 1867 to 1957.

Graduates and undergraduates from Tuscan universities lead educational tours through the garden, sharing knowledge about regional botanical diversity and conservation methods.

Visitors can explore the garden daily from June to September, with weekend openings in April, May, and October, through guided tours at scheduled times.

The garden includes a specialized pond for wetland plants and maintains a collection of experimental conifers for scientific research purposes.
