Sommocolonia is a pleasant morning's walk from Barga. The tower here was ruined by a bombardment during the World War II, when the front line passed through the village and heavy fighting was taking place. An American officer, Lieutenant Fox, sacrificed his own life by calling in his location and asking that it be shelled, taking out a significant enemy foothold in the process.
