ルニジャーナのヴィラフランカのおすすめランニングルート

Villafranca in Lunigianaの自治体にあるCastello Malaspinaの塔は、主にMalgrateにあるCastello Malaspinaの印象的で有名な円筒形の構造を指しますが、自治体の中心部には、元々監視塔を備えていたMalaspina侯爵の歴史的なダンテ風の住居であるMalnido城の遺跡もあります。 その細長い塔で最もよく保存され有名な要塞は、Malgrateの集落にあります。円筒形の主塔は谷の上にそびえ立ち、Lunigianaの風景の紛れもないシンボルです。

Filettoの城塞化された村の有名な南門（マッサ＝カッラーラにあるヴィラフランカのFilettoに位置する）は、中世の村に訪問者を迎える壮大な石造りの記念碑的なアーチです。後者の場合、建築では、「filetto」（端または縁）で配置されたレンガを使用して、構造的または装飾的なアーチを作成することを意味します。これは、入り口、廊下、またはキッチンに素朴でエレガントな雰囲気を与えるために非常によく使用される敷設技術です。

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.

Ruins of the Malnido Castle, with the square dedicated to Dante Alighieri, ancient guest of the Malaspina, and the remains of the church of San Nicolò, the medieval road leads to the parish church of San Giovanni
