I tesori delle terre di Luni<br />

The Treasures of the Land of Luni<br />

Boscosa, autentica, confinante con la Toscana, la Lunigiana custodisce vestigia romane e<br />

necropoli liguri ancora più antiche. E castelli, torri, palazzi di vescovi e signori. Qui Dante<br />

fu ospite e diplomatico. Un itinerario di grande fascino da Pignone ad Ameglia<br />

Along the border with Tuscany, the area called the Lunigiana holds many surprises: Roman ruins, <strong>Liguria</strong>n<br />

necropolises, woods, wetlands, castles and towers and palaces of bishops and lords. Dante came here as a guest and<br />

a diplomat. Trace this fascinating route from Pignone to Ameglia<br />

Meno conosciuto e frequentato di quello<br />

di ponente, l’entroterra ligure dell’estremo<br />

levante ha l’aspetto di una<br />

terra incontaminata, dove il bosco solo a tratti è<br />

interrotto dalla presenza di piccoli borghi sulle<br />

alture. L’autenticità resta anche negli altri aspetti<br />

di questa zona dove i sapori parlano già della<br />

vicina Toscana, con la quale condivide storia e<br />

cultura, sin dai tempi di Roma; qui, dove il Vara<br />

si unisce al Magra per sfociare in un Mar Ligure<br />

che sa già di Tirreno, i marmi bianchi delle Alpi<br />

Apuane fanno da sfondo a paesini sospesi fra<br />

l’aria di montagna e lo iodio marino.<br />

Less well-known and visited than the lands to the<br />

west, the <strong>Liguria</strong>n hinterlands on the Tuscan<br />

border have the air of an uncontaminated land.<br />

Here the woods are only occasionally interrupted by<br />

the presence of small villages on the peaks of the<br />

hills. The authenticity of the region also lingers in<br />

other aspects of the zone, where the flavors begin to<br />

speak of nearby Tuscany, with which it shares a<br />

history and a culture since Roman times. Here the<br />

Vara River meets the Magra, and then flows out to<br />

<strong>Liguria</strong>n Sea which already feels like the Tyrrhenian.<br />

The white marble of the Apuan Alps form the<br />

backdrop to tiny villages suspended between the<br />

mountain air and the sea salts.<br />

Only those who really wish to get to know the soul of<br />
