The Enchanting Town of Fivizzano
Fivizzano, a charming medieval town renowned for its historic walls, cobbled streets, and lively piazzas, is affectionately called “the Florence of Lunigiana.” Piazza Medicea is the vibrant heart of the town, where locals and visitors alike enjoy coffee or wine in an easy, relaxed Italian atmosphere.
Throughout the year, Fivizzano hosts festivals, open‑air concerts, and medieval reenactments celebrating its cultural heritage and rising international recognition. The International Classical Music Festival draws artists and audiences from around the world. Additional music and cultural events occur year‑round. The town also hosts outdoor sports and gastronomic festivals highlighting Slow Food traditions and regional specialties. A wellness spa within the municipality offers relaxation amid stunning natural surroundings.
All essential amenities—markets, shops, supermarkets, and restaurants—are located within its historic centre. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of Lunigiana, the region offers ancient castles once held by the Medici and Malaspina families, scenic marked trails through rolling hills and the rugged Tosco‑Emilian and Reggiano Apennines, and views of ridges and deep forests at every turn. There are natural swimming pools carved by mountain streams and remote paths waiting to be explored.
Beaches in Lerici and the coves of the Cinque Terre are just 30 minutes away, perfect for sailing, swimming, or relaxing along the Ligurian coast. The Tuscan Riviera is also within reach, offering both family‑run and exclusive beaches, and majestic views of the Apuan Alps, a UNESCO Global Geopark.

What is the Energy Efficiency Rating?
The energy efficiency rating is a value expressed by letters ranging from A4 to G which indicates the energy quality and consumption of the building based on parameters such as the shape and climate zone in which it is located. The better the energy efficiency rating, the lower the energy consumption and cost of air-conditioning the building. Please note: buildings belonging to the same class can also have very different energy consumptions if the shape and climate zone are different.

The EPgl indicates how much energy is consumed so that the building or the building unit reaches comfort conditions, and is based on the energy services present and according to the type of property under standard use. The unit of measurement is kWh/m2 per year.
