Since 1221 Malaspina family will take over and divide Lunigiana into 2 areas: \u201cBloomed Thorn\u201d and \u201cDry Thorn\u201d. Virgoletta will be included in the second.<\/p>\n<p>Its castle is mentioned right on these kind of documents (1275). Malaspina family will erect new walls 11mts high on the south of the castle and build a cistern inside the castle. In this historical moment the first houses are build on two wings\u00a0 along the road leading to the castle, so that the access of the castle is moved towards them.<\/p>\n<p>In 1449 Galeotto Campofregoso conquers the castle and maintain it until 1471, transforming it in a residencial palace, even thou fortifying the walls outside. Then Malaspina will take over again, until 1705 when a riot of inhabitants of Virgoletta against Giovanni Malaspina aimed to aid Filippo the 5Th of Spain and french-sanish invasion. Granduke of Tuscany was able to defend against the invasion and return Virgoletta to Malaspina family: as a consequence all the rebels were sent off the castle for at least 8miles; this gives the actual shapes of the settlement.
