Camaiore, another important municipality of Versilia, is situated in the valley shaped by the slope of Alpi Apuane, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea.

After the domination of the city of Lucca (that annexed the village definitively in 1442) and the sacks from the Florentine (1429) and Milanese forces, the village, which was surrounded by a fourteenth-century circle of walls, was given the status of town in the 19th century by the Borbone family. The composer Francesco Gasparini and the writer Ermenigildo Pistelli were born in Camaiore. Not too far from the town centre, travelling towards the interior, we find the Abbey of S. Pietro, which was founded by the Benedictine monks round about the 13th century. The Abbey was built in Romanesque style and is divided into three naves. It has also a bell tower, which we can enter through a fourteenth-century door, where we can still see a little stretch of the walls, bounding the convent.

The municipality of Massarosa, situated between the lake of Massaciuccoli and the southern ramifications of Alpi Apuane, is also made up of hill and flat lands at the bottom of the mountains. Three kilometres far from Massarosa we find Pieve a Elici, where there is the eleventh-century Church of S. Pantaleone.

Its name originates from the ilex wood (in Latin "ilex"), extending in the surroundings. In the 11th century the church, that was at the beginning dedicated to S. Ambrogio, the Bishop of Milan, was enlarged and built in the Romanesque church with three naves, consecrated to S. Pantaleone. Many modifications, introduced in the passing of the centuries, changed its original Romanesque appearance, regained through the restoration works made in 1962.
Inside we can admire thirteenth- and fourteenth-century frescos, the "Crucifixion" attricuted to Guido Reni, a marble altar-piece, composed by many paintings (1470) and a baptismal font by Giovanni da Massagrausi.
