Minucciano is located in the north-west province of Lucca, bordering the town of Massa-Carrara. The village of Minucciano stands far above a rocky plateau, which can be accessed only from one side, once barrique by a robust iron door. It seems that in the village of Minucciano has occurred the legendary battle in which the consul Fifth Minucius to see risked destroying its legions against Liguri-Apuani, although Romany had the better, as to do derive the name of their village from the Roman consul who was able to get the upper hand.
