Background
Inhabited since prehistoric times, it had its golden age between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries, when it was the capital of an independent marquisate and governed by the most important branch of the family Malaspina dello Spino Fiorito, whose marquises were imperial vicars in Italy. This has left deep traces in local architecture, art and culture.
