The provincial road which goes up to the Apuane, all the way through
to Castelnuovo
Garfagnana,
goes through it. Various tracks start from this provincial road and
allow to tour the surrounding Alpi. The origin of its name, as could
be expected, doesn’t come from the union of the two torrents which
surround it, on the contrary
In fact, the origin of its name comes from the Longobarda people and
language and is made of Sala and Vetizza, where Sala means large
room or court and Vetizza is the transformation of the first name
Vetizzo
