Pontremoli sits at the confluence of the Magra and Verde rivers in northern Tuscany, where the Lunigiana valley meets the Apennine foothills. Long a stopping point on the Via Francigena, the town preserves a compact centre of stone streets, bridges and palazzi shaped by its position between Liguria and Emilia. Castello del Piagnaro rises above the old town and houses the Museo delle Statue Stele Lunigianesi, dedicated to prehistoric carved stone figures found across Lunigiana. Pontremoli also hosts the annual Premio Bancarella, a literary prize rooted in the area’s book-selling tradition.
