Lunigiana

The name Lunigiana is thought to have come from the Roman settlement at Luni, which is now actually outside the boundaries of modern Lunigiana. You can visit the ruins there, which date from 177 B.C. The first known settlings of the Val di Magra the valley that runs through the Lunigiana along the A15 Autostrada took place a thousand or so years before Christ.

The standing carved stone stelae or statue-menhirs found in the area attest to the earlier culture, we call them the Ligui-Apuani but don’t know much more than they raised cattle.

The Val di Magra fell under Byzantine rule in the early middle ages, when Luni was the base for the Byzantine fleet which had its main port in the Island of Sardinia. The Longobards came in 643, then from the tenth century, on Luni hosted a bishop installed by Emperor Otto I.

Aulla extends along a flat zone, following the Magra river, in the point in which it meets the Aulella torrent, while the northern part is delimited from the course of the Taverone torrent. Aulla lies in a strategic position between the steps of the Cisa, the step of the Cerreto, the step of the Lagastrello. Because of the strafings of the second world war, the ancient village has gone almost completely destroyed, but on the surrounding evocative medieval villages like Caprigliola, Albiano, Bibola, Olivola and Pallerone have remained intact.

The village of Aulla was founded towards 884, when the Abbey of Saint Caprasio was built. Towards the end of XIII the century the territory passes under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Luni, for being then disputed from Pisa, Lucca, Genova and the Malaspina family. Aulla is characterised by the Fortress of the Brunella, military construction of the XV century was built in a strategic position from which it could dominate all the city. The Fortress was erected probably under Giovanni delle Bande Nere. Today it hosts the Natural history museum of Lunigiana.
