Additional information
A way to explore the hidden treasures of the charming Lunigiana... Lunigiana - (pronounced Loonee-janna)- a magical place beginning with its name meaning - the "land of the moon" reserved and charming, shows to its visitors different sights, clear and full of light, but also mysterious and secret� To find out its inner meanings, you need to abandon yourself to its beauty and follow the ways to the woods where the Liguri-Apuani people built the famous menhir as to guard the pastures, or the paths to the little villages all around, dominated by more than 100 castles and by their severe profiles.
Numerous smaller fascinating towns and villages where weekly markets and summer festivals abound. PONTREMOLI is located in the northern part of Lunigiana and is today a precious coffer of artistic and monumental memories.The castle of Piagnaro, situated at the top of the hill dominating the northern approach to Pontremoli, makes part of a system of walls and towers erected in defense of the city during its history.
Beyond the castle, home of the museum of the statue stele,an anthropomorhic cult of stone divinity. From the III millenium before Christ, the statues represented male and female divinity, whose cult ended when the Romans conquered the region. FIVIZZANO: Considered the Florence of Lunigiana, . Castles, churches and noble palaces show it. Fivizzano gave itself to the Medici family in the XV century and remained in their possession until the come of the Lorena. The walls of the town were erected for order of Cosimo de' Medici in 1540. Fivizzano gave birth to Jacopo from Fivizzano, one of the first printer. EQUI TERME An ancient hamlet set at the foot of the Apuane Alps. The spa town has a light scent of sulphur whose waters calms and said to have restorative and healing powers. There are also gravel walks to the waterfall and caves where Palaeolithic men and dogs were found. FOSDINOVO is found in the low course of the Magra river,Its imponent castle, perhaps is the best preserved. ..AND ENJOY THE INCOMPARABLE ATMOSPHERE OF THE CINQUE TERRE..
(Five Lands) is a string of 5 fishing villages perched high on the Italian Riviera which until recently have only been linked by a mule track and accessible by rail or water. An ancient system of footpaths is still a good way to visit these villages or use the ferryboats, which run a service from Lerici or La spezia at the same time taking in the Gulf of Poets.
Breathtaking views of the coastline, medieval fortresses and vibrant colours make this a memorable day out or more.
