Beautiful village in the heart of Lunigiana

Medici Fountain

Probably built in the Middle Ages, to protect and control the bridge that offered the opening to the valley, it currently appears as a noble residence dating back to the 17th century, with four imposing corner towers. Transformed into a Luxury resort: a boutique hotel located inside an authentic 17th century castle belonging to the Malaspina marquises.

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

Fivizzano, located at 326 meters above sea level. between the peaks of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps, it is one of the most interesting centers in Lunigiana. It has ancient origins although it acquired importance first with the Malaspina family in the Middle Ages and then with the Medici in the Renaissance, the latter defined it as the 'beautiful corner of Florence'. In 1848 it was also elevated to a Noble City by Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany. The historic centre, surrounded by walls, is dominated by Piazza Medicea with its imposing fountain. The square is overlooked by numerous historic buildings and the Provost Church of Saints Jacopo and Anthony, Marian sanctuary of the Madonna of Reggio, Blessed Virgin of Adoration, since 1946. Perhaps it might surprise some, but Fivizzano has played a far from marginal role in the national humanistic culture, in fact it was here that Jacopo da Fivizzano opened one of the first printing presses in all of Italy, in which the first typewriter ever built was designed and used. The Printing Museum was set up in his honor inside Palazzo Fantoni, an ancient stately building recovered by an illustrious doctor and writer from Fivizza, Loris Jacopo Bononi. An important role in the cultural history of the city was then played by the Accademia degli Imperfetti, an institution founded in 1500 which continued its activity with fervor until it made possible the construction of the Teatro degli Imperfetti - inaugurated in 1807 and equipped with as many as six hundred seats. Lovers of literature will not fail to visit the Augustinian complex and its library, equipped with a beautiful collection of works from the adjoining church; the hostel and, outside, the bronze monument which recalls the Fivizzano origins of Nicholas V, the Pope who designed the Vatican library.

Ancient fiefdom of the Malaspina family of "Spino Secco". Villafranca is located along the Via Francigena, and both in the heart of the town and in its numerous hamlets it is possible to admire notable vestiges of the important medieval past of these lands.

The Malaspina castle of Malgrate, with its characteristic round tower, perched on a hill, has dominated the valley of the Bagnone river, a tributary of the Magra, for centuries. The fortification was developed in 1275, but its origin is undoubtedly much older.
