A fantastic parish church that's worth a visit. The interior, especially, is truly beautiful.

The parish church of Codiponte of Saints Cornelio and Cipriano is among the most fascinating and artistically rich in the territory of the ancient Diocese of Luni. With its figurative capitals and its artistic masterpieces, it is a true paradigm of the Lunigiana Romanesque. The parish church stands on the right bank of the Aulella, near a bridge beyond which, in the distance, you can see the ruins of the 11th-century Bianchi d'Erberia castle. The church has a basilica plan with three naves with columns and round arches and perfectly preserved notched cubic capitals, which bear figures typical of the medieval image system: the tree of life, lily, six-petalled daisy, serpent with feet, two-tailed mermaid and many others. The late medieval triptych with the Virgin on the throne, the SS. Cornelius and Cyprian, the church's patron saints, and the image of the Holy Face, a famous and venerated Lucchese relic, which recalls the passage of the Via del Volto Santo in these very places.

Characteristic village of the upper Aulella valley, nestled along the crest of a rocky spur, the town still today winds along an axis that has at its center the baroque church (17th century), dedicated to San Martino, with a singular façade. On the sides of the monument, two pedestrian streets with a slight difference in level run between tightly packed stone houses, softened by arches and portals. Farmyards, terraces and open spaces open the view onto a lush nature.

You have fully grasped the meaning of the octagon in the religious field. Great

The Pieve di San Lorenzo is worth a visit. A papal document attests to its presence as early as 1148, but it is likely that the church was built on a pre-existing body. The interior of the church is a perfect example of Romanesque architecture, truly extraordinary for having been preserved as it was originally, without subsequent alterations. The façade also reflects the original structure, but over time it has undergone slight modifications due to earthquakes that required its restoration.

This place offers an extraordinary vision of the Apuan Alps, giving a broad and engaging look at the majestic mountain peaks. An unmissable stop for those who love to enjoy the natural beauty and serenity that only such a suggestive panorama can offer.

Small village located in the valley. Worth seeing: the Romanesque church with a bell tower with an octagonal base.

From the villages of Monte dei Bianchi and Mezzana, and from the road that connects them, you can admire various villages of Lunigiana and the majestic peaks of the Apuan Alps.
