Getting there

Pontremoli is in Lunigiana in the northern part of Toscana , in the Massa -Carrara province in that wedge of land that joins Liguria and Emilia; it is at the foot of the Apennines, at around 250 m on the sea level amongst mountains that almost reach up to two thousand meters.

Group A

It comprises the stele statues that have a semicircular head that is not separated from the body by more than a slight dent that represents the shoulders , and a narrow horizontal ribbon for the collar-bone .

Group B

These stele statues represent a stage further on from the first group , characterized by a better definition of anatomical details and a clear distinction between head and body . The head , shaped like a semicircular arc , has more or less large expansions at the sides and is connected to the body by a rounded neck .

Group C

It comprises the most recent statues , characterized by a more realistic representation of the human body and by a “tutto tondo” workmanship of the monument , that represents an obvious attempt at achieving the three dimensions .

Uncertain

This group comprises those statues that for various reasons are difficult to classify and are therefore considered “uncertain” .
