Corsanico is a small village in the comune of Massarosa, in Lucca province, with a Romanesque church and a 17th-century organ. Most homes here have a private pool, a garden and a fireplace, and many sleep six or more. Anything beyond the village needs a car.
Corsanico is a frazione of Massarosa whose Roman origins are thought to date to about 150 BC. Its centre has the 12th-century Romanesque Pieve di San Michele Arcangelo, whose bell tower is a national monument, and the Oratorio di San Michele opposite the war memorial. The monumental organ, built between 1602 and 1606, is used for concerts. Each year on the first Sunday of May the village holds the Dolorosa procession, a tradition since 1700. Homes are grouped closely together. Massarosa's hamlets are spread across plains and rolling hills, and 27 noble villas went up around the comune from the 19th century.
