Lunigiana is a historical and geographical region located in the north of Tuscany, at the border with Liguria. This land, characterized by a mountainous and hilly landscape, is crossed by the Magra and Vara rivers, which outline its course and contribute to the natural beauty of the area.
Lunigiana is known for its medieval villages, castles, and charming churches, which tell a story rich in culture and traditions. One of the main centers is Fivizzano, famous for its architecture and squares, while Pontremoli is renowned for its castle and the characteristic medieval bridge. The local cuisine is another aspect not to be overlooked: typical dishes such as testaroli, torta d'erbi, and artisanal cured meats are a true journey through the flavors of tradition.
Lunigiana is also a paradise for nature lovers and hikers, with numerous trails winding through the Apuan Alps and the Tusco-Emilian Apennines. The area offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as trekking, mountain biking, and climbing.
We have designed some routes for you that will fill your heart, from walks among the chestnut trees and blueberries to the unspoilt green valleys among the chamois and the embroidered flight of swallows.

Fivizzano, an enchanting village located in the heart of Lunigiana, is an unmissable destination for those who love history, culture and nature. Fivizzano is known for its well-preserved historical centre, where you can stroll through ancient cobbled streets and admire historic buildings. Among the main points of interest is the Palazzo dei Marchesi Malaspina, an imposing structure that tells centuries of history and offers a panoramic view of the valley. Don't miss the Church of San Giovanni Battista, a fine example of Romanesque architecture. Every year, the village hosts numerous cultural events and festivals, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in local traditions and savour typical Lunigiana dishes, such as “Torta d'erbi”, a delicacy made with fresh herbs and cheese.
Fivizzano is also the ideal starting point for excursions in the surrounding area. The Apuan Alps, with their scenic trails, offer opportunities for unforgettable trekking. Moreover, the nearby Campocecina Nature Reserve is perfect for those wishing to explore the local flora and fauna.
Finally, don't forget to visit the Museo della Storia della Scrittura (Museum of the History of Writing), which celebrates the area's papermaking tradition, an important testimony to local craftsmanship.
