Castle cycle tour for foodies from Pontremoli to Bagnone
On Sunday, 29 April 2012, a cycle tour for the energetic foodies passes through six towns with four castles, stops for tastings of local products and ends with lunch.
A perfect walk – Malgrate-Mocrone-Orturano-Bagnone-Malgrate
Walking from Malgrate to Mocrone, around the top of the valley to Orturano, down to Bagnone and back to Malgrate is one of our favourite walks.

Castles of Lunigiana resource guide
Lunigiana is often described as the region with the most castles in Italy, or the land of over 100 castles
Street art at Malgrate Castle
Street art, but not as we know it. Up at Malgrate Castello, you will find some paintings scattered around the streets of the borgo.
Tea down the bosco
The sun threatened to show itself, so we decided to collect some firewood from the log pile on our little plot of land in the woods.
Looking for Lunigiana
It is a little village with a Malaspina castle not far from Villafranca in Lunigiana. It always makes for a good photo, so you may have seen it before. Malgrate is our home in Lunigiana. But where is Lunigiana?
