Italy > Tuscany > Lunigiana > Dozzano
Lunigiana unknown to the crowds, yet close to Florence, Pisa and the Cinque Terra, in this sunlit land of chestnut covered hills crowned by medieval villages you will enjoy the very best of Italy - wonderful landscapes, good food and a warm Italian welcome, the northern corner of Tuscany, an unspoiled area of breathtaking natural beauty set between the Apennine mountains and the Mediterranean sea.
Lunigiana links the Gulf of Poets (where Shelley drowned, Byron swam and D. H. Lawrence meditated on his next book) and the coastal province of Liguria. The region is dominated by the mountains of the Parco Alpi Apuane (from where Michelangelo choose the marble for his statues). The marble quarries 45min by car are open to visitors. There are countless natural curiosities such as the caves near Equi Terme, site of the thermal sulphur baths. Cinque Terra are five famous fishing villages, extremely picturesque. We recommend you take the boat from Lerici or La Spezi to really enjoy this trip.
For those who want to immerse themselves in Italian culture there is always plenty taking place; Genoa, European capital of culture for 2004 is 1hr drive and well worth a visit. Florence is 1.5hrs drive or you can take the train from Villafranca. Lucca 1hr drive a delightful city; hire a bike and pedal around the city walls. Parma or Genoa are both 1hr away for the opera.
The region is scattered with castles built by the Malaspina family, the Brunella fortress of Aulla houses the Lunigiana Museum of natural History.
Throughout the year village 'sagras', 'festas' and other celebrations are worth a visit. In the Autumn there is the ritual of the chestnut harvest together with the hunt for porcini - the most highly prized variety of Italian mushroom.
In Winter, whilst one cannot sunbathe, the sun still shines and the skies are often blue despite the dip in temperature, and with the winter comes skiing. There are three local ski resorts: the nearest is at Zum-Zeri.
Lunigiana is a veritable paradise for walkers, painters, photographers, and those who simply enjoy the pleasures of life.
