Along the Magra River

This secondary road allows you to connect Barbarasco and Villafranca in Lunigiana in complete tranquility, away from traffic. You will coast along the Magra river and you will be able to enjoy the nature of this little-known area of Tuscany.

The Magra is a river in Northern Italy that rises at an altitude of 1,200 m in the Apennines. The river is about 70 km long.
The Magra flows through several towns and villages, including Pontremoli, Filattiera, Villafranca in Lunigiana and Aulla in the province of Massa-Carrara, and Santo Stefano di Magra, Vezzano Ligure, Arcola, Sarzana and Ameglia in the province of La Spezia. At Bocca di Magra (Mouth of the Magra) the river flows into the Ligurian Sea. In Roman times it was known as the Macra. She then marked the eastern border of Liguria (modern Liguria).
On April 8, 2020 around 10:20 local time near Caprigliola, a bridge over the Magra collapsed due to poor maintenance. Due to the Corona crisis in Italy, the bridge was used by few vehicles at the time and only two people were injured.
