Fosdinovo, Medieval commune in northern Tuscany, Italy

The Malaspina Castle dominates the hilltop town of Fosdinovo, offering views extending from the Apuan Alps to the Ligurian Sea coastline.

In 1340, Spinetta Malaspina obtained complete control of Fosdinovo, establishing a feudal dynasty that governed the territory until the nineteenth century.

The Church of San Remigio contains a marble tomb of Marquis Galeotto Malaspina and displays architectural elements from the thirteenth century.

Located 110 kilometers northwest of Florence at 550 meters elevation, Fosdinovo connects to major cities through the nearby A1 highway.

The Audiovisual Museum documents the local resistance movement during World War II through multimedia exhibits focused on the Apuan region.
