とても美しい村、一見の価値あり

Beautiful village in the heart of Lunigiana

Starting point of stage 24 of the Via Francigena

probably the best known of the many well-preserved medieval villages that you come across along the route, which reveals its Byzantine origins both in its name and in its shapes: the term “Filetto”, in fact, derives from the Greek Fulacterion, which means “fortified village”. The town still retains the quadrangular shape typical of the villages of foundation and late ancient camps, with perpendicular streets and central squares. To the oldest part, characterized by narrow alleys such as the Jewish village and a large market square, is added a late Renaissance “addition”, the fascinating Borgo degli Ariberti. The Ariberti family enlarged the village by building a wide central street, a square and a stately building adjacent to the church of Saints Jacopo and Antonio and the Fatebenefratelli Convent. The addition is linked to the village in an elegant way, with suspension bridges and arches that overlook the entrance gates to the town and that connect the main buildings.
