    Lusuolo is a characteristic village stretching along the crest of a hill overlooking the right bank of the Magra River, halfway between Villafranca and Mulazzo. The castle and the village are one of the most interesting examples of the fusion of civil and military medieval architecture.

    The oldest part of the structure dates from the mid-fourteenth century, when Lusuolo was an independent feudal kingdom. In 1450 the castle fell into the hands of the Genoese, who partially demolished it.

    Today, the Castle of Lusuolo houses the Museum of the Emigration of the People of Tuscany.

    Due to its strategic position, Lusuolo has often been at the center of major conflicts between the powers contesting control of Lunigiana (Florence, Genoa and Milan) leading to its destruction and reconstruction several times.

      Really beautiful and evocative village, very small but full of decorations. It is really worth a visit.

        Beautiful little place on the Via Francigena. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time...
