Continuing towards Tuscany, Castelnuovo Magra, perched on the hill overlooking the Valley with sea view.
Of a stunning beauty, the village hosts the remains of the castle ‘Malaspina’; it also saw the passage of Dante Alighieri as prosecutor at the beginning of the 1300 a.d. The village is definitely worth a visit- if fro no other reason than to try the first wine bar in Liguria and Lunigiana, which promotes all the best local wines that you should taste!
Looking deeper into Val di Magra traditions, though, there is so much more.
Luni, in the immense green plain in front of the sea, still holds the remains of the ancient Roman city that gave name to the whole valley.
The city is a small Pompei of the North: still meticulously maintained, you can visit the Forum, the basilica, the theatre and the temples.
