Photography Tips
A wide angle optic is necessary for this spot, the arc it's pretty big, it can fit a 10 floors building.
With clouds everything looks more dramatic, dress up in a proper way, it's a 1230 m spot nearby the seaside so the weather changes quickly, the N/W Riviera is the rainiest area of Italy

Travel Information
First get in northern Tuscany, Pisa, Florence or Bologna airport, second visit Lucca rather then Pisa, because Pisa is disappointing, Lucca is surprising, that's why, then focus on the tuscan aemilian appennine range, set Fornovolasco on your GPS and once there follow the hike to Monteforato, walk for about 2 panormic hours, there you are.
