Coreglia Antelminelli, the plaster figure makers' hill village
Coreglia Antelminelli has two sides. The main village sits on a hill at around six hundred metres, looking over the middle Serchio valley between Lucca and the Garfagnana; the hamlets on the valley floor, such as Ghivizzano and Piano di Coreglia, hold the newer houses, the factories and most of the services. The village is linked to the figurinai, craftsmen who travelled the world selling plaster statuettes, remembered in the museum of plaster figures and emigration.
For buyers, the choice between up and down matters. On the hill there are stone houses, views over the valley and quiet, with narrow roads and colder winters. Down below you are close to the valley road and the Lucca-Aulla railway, handy for Lucca or Barga, but also close to the Serchio. Some houses in the old village are second homes or need restoring.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 5,053 residents in 2023, down 3.4% on 2011. The average age is 47.9, against 48.1 in the province of Lucca, over-65s make up 25.9% and foreign residents 8.7%. Households have 2.31 people on average.
The Serchio valley and the Garfagnana are among the most seismic areas of Tuscany. The Civil Protection Department places Coreglia in zone 2, like 21 other municipalities in the province, while 11 are in zone 3; the expected ground acceleration is about 0.193 g. For a stone house in the village, have walls, floors and roof checked before buying, and get a quote for any strengthening.
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the land parcel from the address. Landslides on the slopes, and floods from the Serchio and its tributaries on the valley floor, are the checks to make for the exact address.
