Comano is a town surrounded by greenery, composed of small hamlets and a central village located along the Taverone stream. It has ancient origins, with archaeological finds and documented references dating back to the 9th century. The town was first dominated by the House of Este and later by the Malaspina family, before coming under Florentine control, which brought political and economic stability.
Among its main monuments is the cylindrical tower— the only surviving structure of the 11th-century Malaspina Castle—perched on a hill in the village. Also notable is the Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta in Crespiano, a church of Lombard and Romanesque origin, as well as the ruins of the Castle of Groppo di San Pietro. In the hamlet of Camporaghena, the tradition of stone carving is still visible in decorated portals, family coats of arms, and sculptures of grotesque figures.
