Edificio in Via Ponte Magra, Mulazzo,

The area lies in Lunigiana, in the upper Magra valley between the northern Tuscan Apennines and the first ridges that lead toward the Ligurian Apennines and the Apuan Alps. The Magra river runs through this part of the valley. The Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park is nearby on the eastern side of Lunigiana, and the Apuan Alps Regional Park begins to the southwest beyond the valley ridges. The nearest ski area is Zum Zeri in the Zeri mountains, roughly a 40 minute drive, with larger lifts farther away on the Cerreto side of the Apennines. Pontremoli is the nearest historic town of note in the valley, with services, a preserved old center and the Piagnaro Castle; Aulla is the main service town to the south for roads and rail. The area is known for its stone villages, medieval castles across Lunigiana, chestnut country and the Via Francigena route through the Magra valley.
