Olivola

The Lunigiana is a territory in the farthest northwestern corner of Tuscany bordering with the southern end of the Liguria region, surrounded by the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine mountains on one side and the Ligurian Sea on the other.
The area covers part of the Massa Carrara province, as well as a few towns on the Ligurian Riviera.
During the Middle Ages, the Lunigiana land was divided into many local feudal domains, giving rise to numerous castles and enchanting medieval villages that can still be admired today.
The area also offers numerous Romanesque parishes and churches that also served as resting stops to the many pilgrims that travelled along the Via Francigena, the religious and mercantile road that communicated northern Europe to Rome crossing through the Lunigiana.
Here the presence of the man goes back to the prehistoric period, as given evidence by the discovery of the Statues Stele of the Bronze-Age, today kept in the local museums.
