Landmarks include two fortresses, the remains of defensive walls built about 200 years later and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, which supposedly contains the oldest painted wooden cross in Italy. The Bonaparte family famously has deep ties to Sarzana and Napoleon sought asylum there, You might discuss some of these architectural treasures over a multi-course Tuscan lunch at one of Sarzana’s most popular restaurants.
