Campanone is a term used in Pontremoli to refer to a medieval tower, the only remaining part of a medieval fortress called Fortezza di Cazzaguerra.
The tower was built in 1322. Its purpose was to keep the Guelph and Ghibelline factions of the city separated.
The central tower was equipped from the beginning with a bell to warn the citizens of possible dangers. Only later was the tower raised and the actual bell tower built.

Pontremoli is the northernmost municipality in all of Tuscany and one of the most characteristic centers of Lunigiana. Situated on a plateau surrounded by hills and mountains, the town is a small treasure trove of artistic and monumental memories. Crossing its medieval bridges, walking the cobbled streets is also a way to travel back in time reaching a mythical era. In fact, it is a widespread opinion among historians to recognize Pontremoli as the mythical Apua, the ancient capital of the Ligurian-Apuan civilization.
