Why visit Tòsina
Tòsina was born from the commitment of the young volunteers of the "Perché No?" group from Borselli, with the aim of creating opportunities in an area marked by youth emigration. The intent is to safeguard the traditions, cultures and agricultural know-how of the Florentine Apennines, which depopulation risks erasing.
