Mass is a city of Tuscany.
To know
It was the capital of the Duchy of Massa and Carrara, a period in which the city reached its maximum splendor, in 1829 the city passed to the dukes of Modena of the Este family ofAustria and in 1859 he joined the Kingdom of Sardinia.
The City of Massa has a history that is lost over the centuries, although it probably knows the period of maximum splendor in the Middle Ages. The history of Massa, in the recent past, has been inextricably intertwined with the adjacent town of Carrara Tuscany with which it has had strong ties for decades.
Geographical notes
Originally the village of Bagnara, so called by the many water sources present in the area, was a small town that developed around the Pieve di San Pietro, now no longer existing, in the Frigido valley, a river so called already in Roman times because of the coldness of its waters. Massa today is a city in north-western Tuscany, located at the mouth of the Frigido valley, on the western slopes of the Apuan Alps, about 5 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea, on which are developed characteristic mountain villages. The city is dominated by a hill on the top of which stands the Malaspina castle which dominates the whole surrounding plain. The municipal area has a minimum altitude equal to sea level and a maximum altitude of 1,891 m above sea level Mount Tambura. Massa extends over an alluvial plain but the largest part of the territory is mountainous.
When to go
The city's climate is particularly mild and does not have high peaks of heat in summer and cold in winter. The average temperature in January is 7.25 ° C. Summers are very hot with July averages of 28 ° C. The rainfall is high, both for the presence of the Apuan Alps, hit by humid winds, and for the covering action of the Apennines and the Apuans. Although not typical of the Mediterranean climate, snowfalls are not uncommon in the city, especially in recent years, and more abundant on the hills and in the inland areas.
Background
Its origins are indisputably pre-Roman (Liguri Apuani), when, in the mountain area and near the Frigido river, in a locality not far from the present city, the first human settlements arose. Born as a marquisate, from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century it was the capital of the independent principality, then duchy, of Massa and Carrara, which was ruled by the Malaspina and Cybo-Malaspina families. During this period the village of Bagnara changed radically: it was joined to the Massa Vetere on the slopes of the castle with a wide ring of walls, squares such as Piazza Aranci and Mercurio, streets such as Via Piatonata and Alberica, churches such as the old Cathedral of San Pietro were born , San Francesco and Madonna del Carmine, palaces such as Palazzo Ducale, Bourdillon and Cadets, fortifications as extensions to the castle and the various city gates. It was elevated by Ferdinand II, in 1620, to the rank of city. During the Napoleonic domination, the city was annexed to the Principality of Lucca is Piombino. In 1829 the city passed to the dukes of Modena of the Austria-Este family. In 1859 he joined the Kingdom of Sardinia in a context of social tensions between faithful to the House of Habsburg-Este and new Savoyard institutions. With the census of 1871, Massa was separated fromEmilia and placed in the region Tuscany, here, thanks to the role of provincial capital, the city experiences a great expansion. Seaside tourism is also spreading, the Liberty Villas are erected on the coast, and Marina di Massa begins to take shape and gain fame. So much so that, during the fascist period, it was chosen by many industries as the seat of their summer colonies. The city of Massa and its population suffered serious damage during the Second World War. Massa, in fact, was located along the Gothic Line and from September 1944 to April 1945 it was severely tested by the Anglo-American bombings. The city was later liberated by US troops, who occupied it on April 10, 1945.
How to orient yourself
Massa (Italy): full screen map.- 1 Martana square, born from the confluence of Via Alberica, Via Beatrice and Via Bigini, it was the place where the military tests took place; in fact on it opens the armory, composed of a small loggia with three bays. Porta Martana, the southern access to the city, also opens up on it.
- 2 Mercury square, which has always been dedicated to mercantile activities: it is the place where the Roman farm was found, in which amphorae were produced that should have kept the wine from the Candia hills. Later it housed a well, which was then replaced by the fountain of mercury in 1566, a fountain with a statue of the god above it, commissioned by Alberico I Cybo-Malaspina. But since the Roman era, the square had profoundly changed: the earth had filled it and became part of the hill above the fortress. But Alberico leveled the square, destroying the village that was built on it: from that moment the square hosted the city market, and hence the fountain of Mercury, protector of beggars and the market. The square is overlooked by noble palaces such as Palazzo Bourdillon, Palazzo Manetti, Palazzo Colombini and Palazzo Nizza.
- 3 Felice Palma square, overlooked by the homonymous Art Institute. Once part of the San Sebastiano Bastion, today it is a place enriched by hedges and a bronze statue.

In the nineteenth century, with the demolition of the Collegiate Church by Elisa Baciocchi, Napoleon's sister, the square was remodeled according to the Napoleonic canons, adding a double row of orange trees that still characterizes it today, and a central obelisk, to fill the void left from the demolished church. Later, four lions with respective fountains and basins were placed side by side with the obelisk. During the Second World War, a bomb shelter was built under the road surface for three sides of the site. Today it is one of the most scenic Italian squares, thanks to the façade of Palazzo Ducale, which overlooks its southern side.

It has four shelters, three used as a trading area, and one containing self-cleaning toilets. There are games for the little ones, all with a viewpoint on the castle hill.
