The capital of the Municipality stands perched around a rocky outcrop on the top of which stands a characteristic circular bell tower. The historic center retains a tight medieval plan in which the layout of the buildings is organized in a clear defensive function. Of ancient origin, tradition traces its foundation to the Roman consul Quinto Minucio who would have defeated the Apuans here in a legendary battle fought in the second century AD; more likely, the toponym Minucciano alludes to a Roman "praedium" continuator of an Apuan "vicus".
Museum of Identity of the Upper Garfagnana Olimpio Cammelli of Gorfigliano (Lucca) The museum is located in Gorfigliano, Lucca, in Garfagnana. It is located next to the Old Church, on the top of the Colle di Casa where once stood the Castle and the Old Town.

At the beginning, numerous volunteers took part in this job, and with love, passion and competence, in over 25 years, they brought the whole complex back to its former glory. Among the volunteers one of the leaders was Olimpio Cammelli who collected this huge collection of ancient work items. After his death, his wife, Mrs. Emma, with a great civic
