Mulazzo is also renowned for the unique history of Montereggio, one of its many hamlets. Beginning in the 19th century, its inhabitants traveled across Italy with panniers full of books, founding libraries and creating generations of bookselling families.
Mulazzo itself is a charming village in Lunigiana, overlooking the right bank of the Magra River. It features a Byzantine tower, the remains of the Malaspina castle and aqueduct, several palazzotti marchionali (manorial palaces), and the Malaspinian Study Center.
Every August, Mulazzo hosts the Bancarel’VINO Prize, dedicated to wine and local products, while Montereggio celebrates the Book Festival with cultural events and literary meetings. Other villages in the area, such as Castevoli and Groppoli, preserve significant examples of fortifications and artistic heritage. Also noteworthy is the Statue Stele of Campoli.
