ステラ像（Statue Stele）は、大きさは様々ですが、一般的に高さ2～3メートルの直立した人型の石像です。 これらの神秘的な芸術作品は、ルニジャーナに住んでいた古代の人々の文化と精神性を物語っています。その正確な機能は、研究者の間で依然として議論の的となっています。ステラ像が古代の神々や地元の神々を表していたと仮定する人もいれば、埋葬のシンボルや記念碑であった可能性を示唆する人もいます。彫刻された人物は、しばしば同心円、コッペラ（くぼみ）、線状の刻み目などの謎めいた抽象的なシンボルを特徴としており、これらは宗教的、天文的、または儀式的な意味を持つ可能性があります。これらのシンボルの理解は、考古学者や専門家による研究と調査の対象となっています。

A beautiful town in the Parma Apennines. Worth a visit.

beautiful place

Medieval Castle of 1351. The fortification, which controlled the most important communication routes coming from the Apennines, Cisa and Garfagnana, developed in the 14th century (but its origins are probably older) and on its tower, 25 meters high and crowned by a corbeled patrol embossment, the flag of the Malaspina marquises flew until the 17th century. In addition to performing defensive functions, the castle became a noble residence in 1641, when the central body was transformed into a palace, incorporating the round tower. Despite this, the appearance of Malgrate is that of a classic medieval fortress: the main body is made up of the keep, located on the short side of the rectangular feudal palace and surrounded by walls, equipped with Guelph battlements, slopes and a patrol walkway that seems to date back to the 14th century.

The Piagnaro Castle is a fortress built in a strategic point to protect the Apennine passes and around which the first medieval nucleus was formed, built around the year 1000. For centuries it has been an integral part of the city's defensive system. In its thousand-year history it has undergone numerous destructions and subsequent reconstructions that have brought it to its current appearance. The Castle maintained its military function until the end of the 18th century. Its name derives from the so-called piagne, the gray sandstone slabs used in Lunigiana to cover the roofs of buildings, including that of the castle.

The hike up to the castle is worth it. Great views!

In the center of Corniglio stands the 13th century castle that was owned by the Rossi and Farnese families and in 1820 was sold to the municipal administration, today the municipal headquarters. In front of the castle there is the small temple of SS. Lucio and Amanzio dedicated to the fallen. Via Roma is the most characteristic place in Corniglio with carved stone portals, beyond the centuries-old Roman bridge. In the Castle a Hostel.

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.
