Fivizzano, Walled commune in Province of Massa-Carrara, Italy

The commune stretches across 180 square kilometers of northern Tuscany territory, featuring medieval fortifications and the central Medici fountain in its main square.

Fivizzano became part of the Republic of Florence in the 15th century, marking the first Tuscan presence in the Lunigiana region amid territorial conflicts.

The Museum of Printing in Palazzo Fantoni Bononi exhibits the evolution of print technology, commemorating Jacopo da Fivizzano's pioneering work from 1470.

Every Tuesday morning, vendors gather around the central Medici fountain for an open market selling fresh produce and local products.

The former Augustinian monastery now functions as a lodging establishment, displaying 16th-century frescoes throughout its interior spaces.
