Finding Codiponte

So where is Codiponte?

With Italy's four levels of government that's not as easy to describe as you would think.

First of all Codiponte is one of fifeteen Frazione or villages/hamlets which make up the Comune di Casola in Lunigiana. With a total population of 1,193, the Comune of Casola, is the second smallest of the seventeen Comuni, or shires, which make up the Provincia di Massa Carrara, the most northern of the ten provinces of Toscana, or Tuscany.

And finally, Toscana is one of the twenty Regione, or regions, which form the Republic of Italy.

Of course it is lot easier if you just search for Codiponte on Google - and you will also get a bird's eye view of the village via satellite.
