 The town was visited by Dante Alighieri on 6 October 1306, to end a long series of conflicts between the bishops of Luni and the Marquis Malaspina and opened a new course in local history.The church of Santa Maria Maddalena in the town contains a Pieter Brueghel the Younger copy of "The Crucifixion", believed to be a variation of an original by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.The artwork was believed stolen in a raid on 13 March 2019, but it was revealed that Italian police, tipped off about the possibility of the planned theft, had replaced the painting with a copy in a sting operation.
