Outside the Centre of Villafranca in Lunigiana, Tuscany

Filetto.
The fortified town has a characteristic bottom of the valley quadrilateral layout typical of the first settlements. The original centre, probably of Byzantine origin, consists of an enclosure with four angular towers with a circular plan. It was subjected to important transformations in the 15th and 16th centuries, when the town “doubled” in size eastwards and he network of roads was enclosed by the new walls with access through the two monumental gates.

Ethnographical Museum of Lunigiana.
It houses agricultural and shepherds’ equipment and craft tools, object of common, personal and domenstic use, magic-protective and religious objects from the territory, organized by themes and productive cycles. The location of the museum, in the buildings of the fourtheenth century mills of the town of Villafranca, is particularly interesting.
