Fivizzano
A little Tuscan comune in Massa-Carrara with an unusually dense cluster of churches and cafés for its size, Fivizzano sits within territory shared between two national and regional parks — the Tusco-Emilian Apennine National Park and the Apuan Alps Regional Natural Park. The area has been inhabited since prehistory, evidenced by standing-stone statues and prehistoric ceremonial sites found nearby. During the Second World War, Nazi-fascist occupation forces carried out a series of massacres in the municipality, killing more than four hundred civilians; the comune was subsequently awarded both a silver medal for military valour and a gold medal for civil merit.
