Lunigiana

Crossed by the ancient Via Francigena, Lunigiana is an area extending from the Apennines to the mouth of the Magra river. This area, belonging in part to Tuscany and in part to Liguria, is rich in mediaeval history: castles, Romanesque churches and ancient villages of extraordinary beauty dot the landscape making it difficult to choose what to see.

Malaspina Castle - Fosdinovo

What makes this area special is the wealth of history dating from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. In fact, this small but attractive region has over the centuries been dominated by various groups of people, each settlement leaving traces of their presence.

In addition, in the museum in Pontremoli you can admire the stela statues dating back to 3000 BC.

The Lunigiana cuisine is well known. Several restaurants and 'trattorie' have maintained the old culinary traditions, based on mushrooms, sausages and quiches.
