Levigliani, a land of wine and art

Levigliani is a village in the hamlet of Stazzema inhabited since very ancient times, as evidenced by

the ancient archaeologists' finds.

The village has been a holiday destination for many years to seek shelter from the summer heat, after

opening to the public of the Antro del Corchia, an ancient cave, tourism has increased significantly,

moreover Levigliani is a starting point for excursions that lead to the 2 highest peaks

of the Apuan Alps: the Pania della Croce and the Corchia.

The economy of the country before tourism was centered on the extraction and processing of

marble then increased by the discovery of a quicksilver mine or mercury.

Besides being able to visit the former mercury mine there are very interesting museums among which

stand out the museum on the extraction of marble: "working free" and the museum dedicated to the

history of uses of marble in the world: folded stone.
