The village of Tavernelle, located in the municipality of Licciana Nardi, is located along the ancient Via del Sale, also known as Via di Linari, which connects the Val di Magra to the Passo del Lagastrello, border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. The historical presence of artisan shops and taverns along this street may have given the name to the village.
Tavernelle preserves an ancient part characterized by buildings dating back to the fifteenth century, including a tower-house, a typical fortified structure, built in 1516 by Alfonso Saffi.
In addition to the tower house, Tavernelle has arcades, galleries and sandstone structures that characterize its appearance. The Church of San Rocco, dating back to the sixteenth century, is another point of interest of the village.
In late July, Tavernelle comes alive with the Medieval Market, an event that attracts visitors and tourists to discover the traditions and history of the place.
