The Foce a Giovo, 1.674 meters above sea level, is the highest Apennine pass in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, now crossed by a road suitable only for off-road vehicles.
The road had historical-political motivations. In 1818 Maria Luisa di Borbone, Duchess of Lucca and Francesco IV, Duke of Modena, wanted to build a great road to cross the Apennines, in order to have a direct connection between Modena and Lucca without having to pass through the customs of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

Again an interesting challenge, and an opportunity to explore the Apennine. I have found a very similar landscape at the border of Toscana and Emilia, but no location seems to match the picture. Cheers, Martin

Io seguo attentamente, cosí magari mi giovo di qualche suggerimento.

In my opinion the colours include too much blue.
