        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..

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.
