Fosdinovo, Medieval commune in northern Tuscany, Italy
Fosdinovo is a commune nestled on a hilltop in northern Tuscany within the Province of Massa-Carrara. Malaspina Castle rises above the settlement, and the layout of stone buildings follows the natural terrain of the elevated position.
The Malaspina family took control of the settlement in 1340 and established a feudal rule that lasted for centuries. Their influence began to fade in the 1800s as the region became integrated into larger political structures.
The Church of San Remigio sits at the heart of the settlement and reflects architectural features from the 13th century. Inside, visitors can see carved marble pieces dedicated to local nobles, revealing how power and faith shaped the community's identity.
The settlement sits at an elevated position with steep streets and stairways connecting the buildings throughout its layout. Highway access through the A1 provides straightforward connections to surrounding towns and larger cities in the region.
During World War II, the area played a significant role in local resistance efforts, which is documented through multimedia displays in an Audiovisual Museum. These exhibits preserve stories specific to the Apuan region that many travelers overlook.
