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..

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.Trips in Lunigiana
