Lunigiana, surrounded by the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park and the Apuan Alps Regional Park, is furrowed by the Magra River and its tributaries that draw a fabric of verdant valleys. An ancient land dotted with dozens of medieval villages, Romanesque parishes, and castles. A fascinating mosaic to be discovered slowly, walking and getting lost in these places with a timeless atmosphere.

Throughout the year, it is possible to savor the dishes of Lunigiana cuisine among restaurants, agritourisms, and eno-gastronomic events that enhance the production chains and the ancient practices of cooking in the “testi.” From the three Slow Food Presidia (Agnello di Zeri, Testarolo di Pontremoli, and Marocca di Casola) to products made with Farina di Castagne della Lunigiana DOP and Olio EVO Colline della Lunigiana IGP, to Traditional Products such as Panigacci di Podenzana, Torte d'erbi, and many other specialties. There is no shortage of indigenous wines, Colli di Luni DOP and IGP Val di Magra.

Lunigiana's position, a hinge connecting the Po Valley and the Ligurian Sea, has made it an indispensable place of passage for several historical and religious paths, such as the Via Francigena, the Via del Volto Santo, the Via degli Abati, and the Via Marchesana. They can be traveled on foot, on horseback, and by bicycle, along with the great CAI itineraries such as the Sentiero Italia, the Sentiero dei Ducati, the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri, and the Lunigiana Trek. Finally, there is no shortage of local trails and the CAI network of mountain trails, which make this land a walker's paradise.

A land where Tuscany meets Emilia-Romagna and Liguria, framed by the National Park of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Regional Park of the Apuan Alps, furrowed by the Via Francigena and numerous historical paths, dotted with medieval villages and castles, inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the ancient and mysterious Stele Statues found here. Here, nature offers many educational opportunities: from geology to paleontology at Equi Terme to the biodiversity of the parks and the Magra River. A place where ancient crafts and rural traditions are still alive. An ideal destination for an educational trip, with visits, workshops, experiences, and excursions.
