Documented since 910, it has been completely transformed by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century interventions. Recent restorations have highlighted medieval elements in the façade, while under the space facing the entrance a vaulted room has been brought to light, probably the crypt of the pre-existing church. The interior with three naves, with a quadrangular apse, has Ionic columns and is entirely decorated with stucco friezes. The barrel vaulted ceiling of the naves hides the wooden beams from view. An interesting fragment of a fourteenth-century fresco from the Giotto school, depicting the Martyrdom of Saint Sixtus, while on a side altar there is a Madonna and an Angel from the Della Robbia school. In the choir there is a canvas with the Sorrowful Madonna between Saints Francis of Paola, Luigi Gonzaga and Filippo Neri, by Alberico Carlini from Vellano, and another, fragmentary one with the Madonna of the Rosary, painted by Spinamonte Vanni perhaps at the beginning of the seventeenth century for a convent of nuns that existed in ancient times in the town.

a beautiful village also famous for its magnificent citrus gardens

A stately building that is already showing its age. But you can still feel the charm of a bygone era!👍

View of Pescia after a short but steep climb.

Unfortunately, the villa is currently closed. Most recently it housed a fire department museum. Despite its state of disrepair, the villa looks very impressive.

Cozzile was probably founded at the end of the 12th century around fortification works with lookout and extreme defense functions. Even at the beginning of the 14th century they housed a castellan and a small garrison on behalf of the people of Lucca. Around the fortress a fortified town arose with a structure similar to that of Massa, organized in a "fishbone" pattern on both sides of the road that crossed it and which, exiting at the other end of the town, led towards the Apennines and towards Modena. The houses were grouped into two neighborhoods or "deeds" (Volata to the East, and Cessana to the West of the main road) with the square located to the north and the church to the south. In the city walls, of which important remains are still visible incorporated into the houses built above them, three doors opened: one to the east, corresponding to the entrance to the town of the medieval road from Massa (gate to Massa), one to the west , on the diametrically opposite side (Porta Vecchia)
