The “high-middle Lunigiana” is located at the extreme north of Tuscany, in the district of Massa Carrara. The “low Lunigiana” is positioned in the district of La Spezia along the last stretch of the Magra river.
It has always been a land of passage and a natural corridor between several areas located in the Po Valley, Tuscany and Liguria.
A prosperous land where time seems to have stopped, the landscape has maintained its original charm and the signs of man have been preserved for centuries and engraved in stone and marble: the mysterious and prehistoric Stele statues, the numerous and fascinating castles,
the Romanic medieval churche, the typical medieval village, the ancient path of Via Francigena and a erie of remarkable and refined work of art from the medieval, Renaiance and Baroque period. Show more Show less
