Emigration of the Tuscan People Museum in Mulazzo

The Lusuolo Castle was the defensive fortress of the town of Mulazzo and of the important transit roads outside of the town, among which the important Via Francigena.

It originally belonged to the feud of Corrado L’Antico, the Marquis of Mulazzo, though the castle was built in the mid-1300s, the era in which Lusuolo became the town of the marquis. In 1450 it passed into the hands of the Genoa-based Campofregoso family, which tore down parts of it. The castle was then enlarged in the early 1600s after the Malaspina Marquis of Lusuolo ceded it to the feud of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
