This medieval town of only 10,000 inhabitants has it all; style, character, warm hospitable people, good restaurants, an international music festival …. and tango! Yes, tango! Fivizzano was a wealthy town in medieval times and an important strategic centre when the fortress at Verrucola controlled the surrounding area. The town was also for a long time under the influence of Florence, to which it owes much of its style and character. Today Fivizzano combines a respect for the past with a thriving social and cultural life with many of the town’s events taking place in the central Medici square in front of the XIV century church of Saints Jacopo and Antonio. Opening on Friday 27th of August 2004 and running until Sunday the 5th September the International Music Festival features performances ranging from solo guitar recitals to urban dance, from small ensemble modern music to folk groups. This event is deservedly growing in popularity and reputation and is a must for all lovers of the performing arts. Tango World is an exuberant celebration of this most passionate of dances. Running from the 7th to the 12th of September 2004 this is your chance to not only see some of the best tango dancers in the world, but to learn to tango yourself!

Exotic palm-studded gardens line the sea front before giving way to the magnificent nineteenth-century gardens and the airy shaded arcades of the Via Chiodo. The classical architecture, wide avenues and arcades in turn give way to the old town centre. Today the centre of the town is a pedestrian area. The bustling Via del Prone is lined with small shops and stalls whilst the elegance of the Piazza Sant' Agostino speaks of an earlier time. The site was inhabited in Roman times, but little is known of its history before 1276, when it was sold to Genoa by the Fieschi family. It became a maritime prefecture in the French Empire and then part of the Duchy of Genoa in the Kingdom of Sardinia. After the transfer of the military fleet from Genoa in 1857, it became a naval headquarters, and in 1923 it became the provincial capital. It was severely damaged by bombing in World War II. Notable landmarks include the medieval Castel S. Giorgio, the 15th-century cathedral (rebuilt since 1945), and the naval arsenal (1861–69, rebuilt since 1945), with the adjacent naval museum. The archaeological museum has a collection of menhirs (prehistoric monoliths) cut in the form of human figures and of Roman artifacts from the nearby ancient city of Luni. For all its history and elegance La Spezia is also a modern city. As well as museums and libraries housing works of art from 4,000 BC to the present day, there are contemporary buildings including the new Kennedy shopping centre on the edge of town. This same mix of ancient and modern can be seen in the secular and religious festivals held every year from the Festival of San Giuseppe, Patron Saint of the city, to the Festival Internationale del Jazz. La Spezia is also very convenient for access to The Cinque Terre either by boat or train. Events: San Giuseppe, Patron Saint of the city (19th March) Palio del Golfo - boat race (1st Sunday in August) San Venerio, Patron Saint of the Gulf (13th September) Festival Internationale del Jazz Biennale Golfo dei Poeti, International art exhibition New Year's Eve celebrations in the city |

La Lunigiana trae il suo nome dalla città di Luni, fondata dai Romani nel 177 a.C. alla foce del fiume Magra e si identifica oggi nella vallata di questo fiume e in quelle dei suoi affluenti, mentre i suoi confini storici sono molto più ampi. La Lunigiana Storica nel Mille estendeva la sua giurisdizione sul territorio oggi compreso nelle provincie della Spezia e Massa Carrara fino ad Albareto in provincia di Parma e all'Alta Garfagnana in provincia di Lucca. Nel medioevo quando si parla di provincia di Lunigiana ci si riferisce, così come era al tempo dei Romani, ad un territorio di grandi dimensioni, quello della diocesi di Luni. Sull'origine del nome Lunigiana sono state fatte diverse ipotesi dagli studiosi: questo toponimo sarebbe stato tratto dalla forma a falce di luna del porto fluviale di Luni e si trova nei documenti scritti a partire dalla prima metà del XIII secolo in provincia Lunisanae. La Lunigiana come del resto altre parti d'Italia,
dopo la caduta dell'impero romano (476)
fu occupata da
Ostrogoti,
Bizantini,
Longobardi e
Franchi. I possessi dei Malaspina in Lunigiana vennero riconfermati dall'imperatore Federico II nel 1220 e l'anno seguente ebbe inizio la divisione del casato nei due rami dello spino secco e dello spino fiorito con conseguente ripartizione delle terre a destra e a sinistra del corso del fiume Magra. Si crearono così due feudi i cui capoluoghi furono Mulazzo e Filattiera. In seguito queste proprietà furono suddivise variamente tra i diversi discendenti che spesso entravano in lotta tra loro per questioni di confini. Anche per questi motivi la Lunigiana vede un gran numero di castelli medievali,alcuni dei quali ben conservati e visitabili (Fosdinovo, Fivizzano, Pontremoli, Massa). Ma non tutta la Lunigiana era nelle mani dei Malaspina. Pontremoli (la cui prima memoria specifica appare nell'itinerario del vescovo Sigerico di Canterbury del 990), il Primo febbraio 1167 fu concessa dall'imperatore Enrico IV nel 1077 a Ugo e Folco d'Este.
