Borgo Pace, the hamlet of peace: this is what the name of this tiny village of just above 500 means if translated literally. And peaceful it must be, as immersed as it is in the green tranquility typical of the low Apennines, in the Marche province of Pesaro-Urbino, but not far from Tuscany. 

However, Borgo Pace isn’t only known for the idyllic images inspired by its name but also for its connection with an ancient craft, almost entirely extinct in the rest of the country: “charcoal making.”
