Sassorosso is a "Pink" village in the green Garfagnana. It is a small mountain town, one of the most characteristic of Tuscany: its houses, built exclusively with local stones, mostly in pink, offer a unique natural color effect. The village, surrounded by green pastures, rises at the base of a rocky cone formed geologically in the Jurassic, composed of sedimentary calcareous layers rich in Ammonites (Cephalopod molluscs), which over the millennia have given the rock the typical color of that marble the "Collemandina Red". Since ancient times men extracted from small quarries on site the stones necessary for the construction of their houses, without paying attention to their color, creating those picturesque walls that we can define as "irregular chessboard", where red marble stones are interspersed with stones lightly streaked with light greenish, making the village unique. Today the extraction of this marble, (mainly used in construction to achieve valuable flooring and interior decoration), continues in a quarry just below the village, on the northwest slope of the mountain, while on the top of the rocky cone it is still possible to visit an old quarry now in disuse, where the thousand shades of the "Collemandina Red" are clearly visible in the cutten rocks.
In 1973 a United States Navy DC plane ran out of fuel and crashed on the black beach at Sólheimasandur, in the South Coast of Iceland. Fortunately, everyone in that plane survived. Later it turned out that the pilot had simply switched over to the wrong fuel tank. The remains are still on the sand very close to the sea. enjoy !
The external structure of the church of San Michele is characterized by the use of different styles: the building is Romanesque, while the facade is embellished with an ornament in the late Gothic style, built with gray stone of this area and typical red marble , thanks to the proximity of Sassorosso quarries. A plaque inside shows the end date construction: the 1403. The main entrance of the building is characterized by interpretable figures according to two interpretations: the religious one ascribes to the four evangelists, while the other identifies with Etruscan goose symbols, Griffin, the cross and the fury. Of significant interest are a painted panel depicting the "Madonna with Child" by Giuliano di Simone from Lucca dates back to 1389 and a marble tabernacle attributed to the school of Matthew Civitali. Finally, within the church, there is a wooden crucifix placed in the side altar, coming most likely from the destroyed Chapel of St. Christopher in Verrucchia, small castle near Castiglione.

Uniquely-formed remnants of ancient basalt volcanic dikes sticking out from the sea. Londrangar and the hill Svalthufa are the remains of a crater, which has been eroded to its present form by the sea. The farmers in the area never made or make hay on the hill, because it is said to belong to the elves living in the area. Younger lava fields surround this old crater ruin.
