Lunigiana is a very particular land that keeps intact the evidences of its feudal history and, at the same time, preserves an unspoilt nature, quite completely free from industrial pollution.
The white peaks of Apuan Alps and the green valleys of the Apennine are the sceneries of this impressive landscape, where it seems that time does not to pass, among fable castle and prehistoric statues, overhung villages and medieval monasteries.
Situated between Tuscany and Liguria, even if geographically isolated, it has always been a land of passage crossed by one of the most important and crowded medieval route of pilgrimage, that is the Via Francigena. Lunigiana is called after the Roman colony of Luni and has assimilated, during its secular history, very different dialects and traditions, in part Ligurian, Tuscan, and Emilian.
The result is an original and fascinating culture, rich in folklore, images, colours, and unusual tastes.
