Surrounded by the two mountain ranges of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps, it has always been pass and border territory, sylvan and rich in ancient settlements with a unique character.The charm of the Middle Ages is still very much alive in this land, with the wonderful castles of the Malaspina family, that of Fosdinovo, and the walls of Capriglila with its elegant tower.Lunigiana is wonderful for trekkers, thanks to the rich trails and mule tracks that lead to landscapes with breathtaking views and wide green valleys.
