Guidebook for Fivizzano
Sightseeing
A lively town, market on Tuesday morning, all services
Lunigiana is in the Northern corner of Tuscany. It is a land of incredible beauty, offering rushing streams, pools suitable for bathing, thermal waters, medieval castles and rugged peaks as the Apuane Alps look down on valleys worked by families for centuries. Vineyards and olive trees compete with hill-top villages, bell towers proudly soaring to the blue sky above. Even when it rains, there is a beauty in the land which breathes tranquility.
There are some excellent local restaurants offering traditional fare, and the sea-food nearer the coast is second to none. The gateway to Lunigiana is Aulla, and once through this somewhat unremarkable town the area blossoms into unspoilt beauty. At every turn, views reveal themselves and the chestnut clothed foothills of the Apuane Alps add colours of every kind, softening the landscape and lending itself to many photo opportunities.
Within this area one can visit the Cinque Terre, an outstandingly beautiful area on the Ligurian coast, or drive up into the mountains to the Apuane National Park and into the Garfagna region. Pisa with its famous leaning tower and breathtaking baptistery is an hour and a quarter away, or in the other direction lies Parma, home of parmesan cheese and Parma ham.
Artists, photographers and lovers of fine architecture as well as music lovers will delight int he pleasures of a day in Lucca, birthplace of Puccini. Here you can walk the ancient walls or hire a bike and cycle them. The San Michele Church among other sites is a must and you can spend the whole day discovering this ancient city's gems.
Ancient ruins of the Roman Empire are still evident in Luni which is another good day out or, how about Carrerra, with its marble quarries, still worked today, and from which Michael Angelo insisted that his marble should come.
Once you have visited Lunigiana you will want to return again and again to enjoy the feeling of peace and well being with which it leaves you.
