Summary
Description Duchy of Massa-Carrara and Marquisate of Fosdinovo, 1715 to 1730.png |
English:
The Duchy of Massa and Carrara and the Marquisate of Fosdinovo shown on an early 18th-century Latin language map. Although they appear enclosed by a single yellow line of frontier, Fosdinovo and Massa-Carrara, which bordered the eastern end of the Republic of Genoa (in red), were independent fiefdoms (from each other as well), ruled by the Malaspina family and the collateral Cybo-Malaspina branch throughout the 17th and 18th century. The narrow band of territory between the Duchy of Massa and the Medici Captaincy of Pietrasanta was in fact a true exclave of the Republic of Lucca centred in the village of Montignoso and its fortress. The Duchy of Massa and the Duchy of Modena bordered each other for a short stretch, through which the connecting mountain road called
Via Vandelli
was built in the mid-eighteenth century.
