Casola is located in the higher part of the Aulella river, on a terrace surrounded by the Aulella and the Tassinaro streams. This territory is a boundary region, being located between the Lunigiana and the Garfagnana, and also between the Apuane Mountains and the Apennines. This region owes its prosperity to the strategic position of these valleys, at the junction between important roads that link the north with the south of Italy.

An important resource for this region has always been agriculture, specialised in cereals and in the exploitation of large chestnut forests. The territory of Casola is still uncontaminated and wild; it offers beautiful hikes and suggestive views over the surrounding valleys.
