Set on a gentle slope in the upper Vergatello valley, facing south and surrounded by green
mountains, the village of Rocca di Roffeno is characterized by the cordial welcome of the
inhabitants, by the presence of numerous medieval defensive buildings, by having been the scene of
"The jump off", i.e. the breakthrough of the German defenses on the Gothic Line by the Allies, due to
the presence of traces of a prehistoric village dating back to around the year one thousand BC, for
some churches with elements of value, for a well-kept network of paths to be covered in trekking
and mountain biking and for a varied and qualified gastronomic offer. Rocca di Roffeno is crossed by
the paths of PICCOLA CASSIA and the GOTHIC LINE. The painter Giorgio Morandi stayed here
between 1934 and 1939 who created numerous works that also portray the places of his vacation.
There is a sports center with fields for soccer, basketball, skating, volleyball. In summer the locality
comes alive with numerous and qualified cultural, sporting and gastronomic initiatives. The villages
of Casigno, Santa Lucia and Serra Sarzana are part of the territory.
