What it is and why go
Comano is a small municipality in Lunigiana, the main town of the area that includes Camporaghena. It's not a tourist village: it's a real place where people live and work. For those staying in Camporaghena, Comano is the go-to place for everything you need: grocery shopping, medicines, a coffee, a pizza.
The centre is small but well kept. Remains of the medieval castle (a cylindrical tower), a historic bridge, views over the Taverone valley. You can see it in 30 minutes. Then you move on to practical things.
