Tuscany is everybody's favorite travel destination, and the Lunigiana is the part of Tuscany that's undiscovered.
Lunigiana is the part of Tuscany that links up with the Gulf of Poets and Liguria to the west and Emilia-Romagna, gastronomic heart of Italy, to the north. Whilst it is dominated by the Apuan Alps (from which Michelangelo insisted that his marble had to come) and the Appennines (made famous by Eric Newby in his book 'Love and War in the Appennines'), it has beautiful sandy beaches on its coast at places such as Marinella and Marina di Massa. It truly does have mountains, rock pools, sun and sea. Lunigiana is a small homogenous region that offers a mild climate and a sweet atmosphere, perfect for resting and holidays. The millenial story of its history are visible, from the mysterious “statue stele” to the roman ruins, from old churches and medieval castles to the baroque palaces.
Untouched by industrialization damages Lunigaina area means holiday in harmony with nature!
