In the 12th century, thanks to the patronage of Countess Matilda of Canossa and monastic initiatives, the original single-nave church was transformed: two side aisles, an apse, and a wooden ceiling structure were added, giving it its current appearance. Today, beyond its historical value, the abbey houses a *memorial plaque to the fallen* of World War I, featuring photographs of the brothers of the SS. Pietà. **Pieve di Santo Stefano** (9th century): Located on a hillside along the Via Francigena, this Romanesque-Lucchese church symbolizes the ecclesiastical jurisdiction that once covered the Camaiore valley to Pieve a Elici. Its 17th-century restored façade features a prospective staircase framing the square. Inside, a standout feature is an *ancient Roman sarcophagus from the 2nd century*, the tomb of Lucius Imbricius, recovered from the village of Lombrici. **Marginettes and Sacred Landscape**: Throughout Camaiore’s territory, you’ll find numerous *Marginettes*, small votive chapels with thatched or edicule roofs, scattered along trails and villages. These folk structures reflect the widespread religious devotion in the area and are often linked to events like the Processione del Corpus Domini. **Teatro dell’Olivo** (19th century): A symbol of Camaiore’s cultural life, this historic theater hosted theatrical and musical performances since its inauguration. Though no longer active, it remains an *identitary heritage* of the town. ## Authentic Flavors and Gastronomic Tradition While Camaiore doesn’t have restaurants listed in the database, it sits within the rich gastronomic context of Versilia and the province of Lucca.
