Morning light cuts across the Serchio River as you meet your guide in Piazza Marconi; the town still smells faintly of bread ovens and wet stone. The three-hour private tour moves at a steady pace—museum case to bunker mouth, car ride to hill-top fortification, then a walk across the Devil’s Bridge where the river dares you to look down from its humpbacked arch.
