The Devil's Bridge in Tuscany (and Affordable Properties Nearby)

http://internationalliving.com/2011/04/italy-video-the-devils-bridge-in-tuscany/

In this video, International Living's European editor, Steenie Harvey, shows footage of The Devil's Bridge, in Borgo a Mozzano, Tuscany (Lucca province). There's a colorful story attached to this bridge—and it's also a great area to seek out affordable properties.

Dating back to the 14th century, the story goes that, in return for helping to build it, the devil demanded the soul of the first creature who crossed it. The devil assumed this creature would be a human, but in fact, it was a pig.
Steenie is on the road to Lucca and visited a real estate agency in the area, where she was told about a wonderfully restored cottage for 45,000 euro ($65,000).
