Bagnone Castle

Highlight • Castle

Bagnone Castle is located on the highest hill and is clearly visible as soon as you enter the town. It is dominated by an imposing cylindrical stone tower, crowned by corbels of the plumbing system with archers and larger openings framed by frames. The tower remains the only surviving structure of the castle, which has now completely disappeared and is partly incorporated into smaller buildings of the villa of the Counts Ruschi-Noceti. The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited.

Bagnone Village Entrance

Highlight • Settlement

The Borgo di Bagnone is a medieval village on the Tuscan-Emilian pre-Apennine hillsides. It is characterized by the waterfalls that flow on the right side of the village, formed in the rock by the flow of the Bagnone Torrent.
The oldest part of the village stands on the left side of the Bagnone Torrent, from which it took its name. The circular tower located in this area of the village served to control the valley's traffic and was connected to other similar towers: Malgrate, Groppoli and Mulazzo.

Borgo di Virgoletta

Highlight • Settlement

The Borgo di Virgoletta is located in the municipality of Villafranca and was known as the “Verrucola dei Corbellari”, narrow and elongated to follow the crest of the hill, closed to the north by the large mass of the castle-palace that later belonged to the Malaspina; in the center of the village is the church of Saints Gervasio and Protasio with the bell tower, which a plaque informs us is 31 meters high, restored in 1953.
The entire village offers itself almost like a treasure chest. As soon as you enter the door that looks towards Villafranca, here is the majesty placed in 1636 “for his devotion” by Andrea Rossi who entrusted his prayers to San Rocco and the Virgin with Child. From here to the castle is a succession of houses of medieval typology, with sandstone portals, often elegant, which still highlight the commercial past that the village had in the Middle Ages.

An elaborate 16th-century oval-shaped coat of arms in marble informs us that the castle belonged to the Malaspina dello Spino Secco family.

Merizzo Basin

Highlight • River

This place is characterized by a depression on the stream that over the years has created a real basin with crystal clear waters. Once you reach the stream you will find two fairly large but low pools, if you continue down the stream you will find the waterfalls and even further down the basin, near an ancient stone building right on the river.
