Emma Villas - Villa Cervarola (Tuscany - Villafranca in Lunigiana - Massa/Carrara)
ENG: Villa Cervarola is located in the heart of Lunigiana, set within an olive grove and surrounded by the Apuan Alps that frame it as if it were an impressionist painting. The villa was originally composed of three farmhouses, which were skilfully merged and restructured, respecting the characteristics of the time by using local materials such as stone, wood and terracotta. The property includes a portico and a swimming pool with ample relaxation areas which look out over a beautiful view. Its position, on a hill just outside the town of Villafranca in Lunigiana, ensures maximum privacy for a relaxing holiday but, at the same time, allows you to visit many towns such as Carrara, Cinque Terre, Pontremoli, Lucca, Pisa, Florence, all just a short drive away.

Places to see in ( La Spezia - Italy ) Castello Doria
The Doria Castle is a defensive building located in Via al Castello in Porto Venere , in the Golfo dei Poeti in the province of La Spezia. The fortress is located on a rocky hill overlooking the seaside village and is one of the most majestic military architectures of the Republic of Genoa in the Ligurian Levant.
Even today the real date of construction of the first fortified building is unknown; the only data available and received by historians date back to 1139 when the Republic of Genoa managed to gain control of the village of Porto Venere , through the local lords of Vezzano , thus defending itself to the east by rival Pisa .
In 1161 the castle was rebuilt in an area more dominant than the pre-existing near the church of St. Peter and the new building was virtually annexed to another fortified structure, including two identical watch towers. In the first years after the new construction, the two fortifications had two separate castellans and the local podestà will be located in the lower building .
In the XIII century it was the center of the struggles between Genoa and Pisa for the conquest of the surrounding lands, as long as both the castle and the seaside village returned to the vast feud of the Ligurian Levante by Nicolò Fieschi . It will return to being the dominion of the Genoese republic starting from 1276 .
Around the second half of the fifteenth century Genoa decided, in the plan to reorganize the castles and fortresses in the Gulf of La Spezia , to demolish the castle and rebuild it with more modern criteria according to the architectural and military canons of the period; the rebuilding works continued between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries , but it will be only in the seventeenth century that the work will take on its current appearance after other major expansions.
During the French domination of Napoleon Bonaparte , at the beginning of the nineteenth century , the building will be used as a prison using the same premises of the previous century and therefore without altering its architectural forms. Today the ancient Genoese fortress has become property of the municipality of Porto Venere and, after a careful restoration work in the seventies of the twentieth century , is home to art exhibitions in various events that take place throughout the year.
The fort has a pentagon- shaped plant from which protrude three bastions on the salients downstream , while in those facing upwards a strong circular tower dominates ; this latter structure was already part of the previous medieval castle. The ramparts had the task of controlling access to the village and the sea in front; the body built in the sixteenth century , placed further upstream, had to ensure security from possible dangers coming from the mountains surrounding Porto Venere.
Access to the fortress was via a drawbridge , no longer present today, whose sliding slits for the tie rods are still visible today; the current access is through an impressive portal . Inside the sixteenth century fortress, which is accessed via a vaulted corridor and a covered staircase, there is a hypostyle Hall whose roofing vault is supported by pillars. Above it is the home of the local castellan who, from the sixteenth to the seventeenth century , was the seat of the Captain of the people .
