Corfino Village and Bell Tower

Highlight • Settlement

The village of Corfino, at the foot of Mount Pania and near the Orecchiella, is located at an altitude of about 850m. From the town some paths start which, through the greenery, reach the mountain above. The village is certainly worth a visit, often pretty stone houses and typical of a small mountain center, a holiday resort, especially in the past, as evidenced by some former hotels along the road that leads to the main square, where the church and the bell tower already visible from the valley below. The square also offers a view over the whole valley, the Apuan Alps can also be clearly seen. Passing from the street behind the bell tower, you can visit the oldest part of the town which seems to have been born, as the first settlement, in 1212 inside a fortress; in a small square there is still the old source of water used by the inhabitants.

20 + C + M + B + 19 (A mysterious inscription ?)
It is an auspicious formula of religious origin widespread in central-northern Europe and also in some Italian regions.
The inscription drawn in white chalk above the door of the house in the Epiphany period includes seven characters separated by small crosses: the first two and the last two digits represent, together, the current year: 2019; the three capital letters C M B (sometimes G M B) instead refer to the names of the three Magi bearers of gifts, Gaspar, Mechiorre and Baldassarre, or constitute the acronym of Christus Mansionem Benedicat ("may Christ bless this house")
