Casola |
|
| |
The
neighbourhood of Casola is rich in culture and, above all,
nature. A significant portion of the region belongs to the Apuane
Park and is characterised by untouched countryside and green hills.
Many paths cross this region, leading to little villages and ancient
ruined castles; among these latter, the Malaspina castle and the
Groppo San Pietro castle.

Codiponte
Codiponte hosts a parish founded in the VIII century, devoted to
saints Cornelio and Cipriano. The building is composed of a church,
a house and the remains of some medieval walls. The front of the
church is in Romanesque stile; so is the interior, divided in three
aisles sustained by round arches. The most important painting of
the church is a triptych dated about 1440 with Holy Mary, Jesus
Christ and saints Cornelio and Cipriano.

Offiano
The most important building in Offiano is the parish of San Pietro;
erected between the XI and XII centuries, this church was then modified
and partly rebuilt because of earthquakes and because of the unstable
sedimentary soil on which it is built. The first restoration works
date from XV century, but the church was drastically modified in
XVIII century in baroque style: unfortunately, the columns'capitals
were removed, the arches reshaped and the main structures of the
church rebuilt according to the new style.
