Medici Fountain

A striking natural formation located in the hamlet of Atticòla, in the municipality of Vetto, in the Reggio Emilia Apennines. It is not a deep canyon like those of the great American rivers, but rather a series of clayey reliefs—almost like "small volcanoes" a few meters high—characterized by outcrops of ferrous clay, with red and white bands that evoke an almost alien or time-sculpted landscape. An interesting crossing point, it is ideal for a leisurely hike, also suitable for families or photography enthusiasts.

Parking lot is easy to reach and from there you have a great view of the rock formation. We also saw all kinds of climbers on the rock. There are also some possibilities to have a drink.

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.

Ruins of an ancient and imposing fortress, dating back to the 19th century, located on a hill overlooking the surrounding lands. When the air is clear you can observe the plain, the Modena and Reggio Emilia areas, on one side and the Ventasso, Cusna and Cerreto mountains on the other.
