Camaiore
The municipal territory of Camaiore situated in Versilia, extends for 84,59 square kilometres occupying most part of the submontane basin and the pleasant slopes of the Tyrrhenian mountain sides of the Alpi Apuane.

The oldest documents relative to Camaiore go back to the VIII century and are mostly acts of donation of land to the Benedettino monastery of San Pietro, which was built on municipal territory. It then developed under the jurisdiction of Lucca. The village, surrounded by walls towards the middle of the XIV century, in 1429 underwent a ruthless sackage by the Fiorentine militia captained by Rinaldo degli Albizzi and again the following year by the troops of Milano led by Piccinino. It fell into the hands of the Visconti in 1436, and then again taken by the Fiorentini the following year, Camaiore passed definitively to Lucca in 1442, and subsequently followed their destiny. It was raised to City in XIX century by the interest of the Borboni. It is the birthplace of the musician Francesco Gasparini (1668-1727) and Ermenigildo Pistelli philologist and writer (1862-1927).
