ルニジャーナのカソラのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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.

One of the most significant monuments of Lunigiana. The parish church is mentioned for the first time indirectly in a document from 793. The first official mention dates back to 1148, in a papal bull from Pope Eugene III. Rebuilt in the 14th century following a landslide, its main lines are only slightly modified.

Pizzo d'Uccello (1,781 m a.s.l.) is called the Matterhorn of the Apuan Alps due to its shape that resembles a pyramid and the fact that its rock conformation resembles that of the Alpine mountains. Its north face, vertical for almost 800 meters, is impressive! It is not the highest peak of the Apuan Alps and yet it is climbed by many who try their hand at the ascent along the normal route which is a sort of mountaineer's baptism, although it is not excessively difficult it does have some challenging passages.

for now it works fine

Shoes off and clamber over the stones!

Spectacular peak with a 360 ° panorama of the Apennines, the Apuan Alps and the Tyrrhenian coast. Non-trivial path that often requires the use of hands and feet

The summit of Pizzo d'Uccello rises to 1,781 m a.s.l. The mountain represents the watershed between the upper valley of the Serchio (Garfagnana) and that of the Magra (Lunigiana) and delimits the border between the provinces of Lucca and Massa and Carrara. Its North Face is spectacular: a slope of almost 800 m in altitude that has nothing to envy to the most famous walls of the Dolomites or the Western Alps. Near the Pizzo there are other beautiful peaks of the Apuan Alps: Monte Pisanino, Monte Cavallo, Monte Contrario and Monte Grondilice.
