Comano is mentioned in history for the first time in a document dated 938, when King Ugo of Provence gave the town and its castle to his wife Berta as a wedding gift.

The time of Countess Matilde, the brief dominion of Castruccio Castracani of the Antiminelli, and the rise of the Malaspina family are milestones in local history.

Comano was part of the territory of Spinetta Malaspina the Great who let the inheritance to his successors when he died (1352): Gabriele, Gugliemo and Galeotto Malaspina, sons of Azzolino II (brother of Spinetta) who therefore wore the title of Signori di Fosdinovo, Marciaso, Comano and Le Terre dei Bianchi.

Comano is situated in the area of Lunigiana in Tuscany, with the main town at the head of the Taverone valley with a backdrop of the breathtaking Apennine Mountains.

The town, surrounded by the farming community, hosts an annual horse festival in the summer and offers a good selection of shops, restaurants and sport facilities.
