Noble town, between two parks and a hundred villages

Fivizzano, situated 326 meters above sea level between the peaks of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps, is one of the most interesting towns in Lunigiana. It has ancient origins although it gained importance first with the Malaspina family in the Middle Ages and then with the Medici in the Renaissance, the latter calling it the "beautiful little corner of Florence". In 1848 it was also elevated to Noble City by Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany.
