Bagnone is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Massa-Carrara in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 120 km northwest of Florence and about 35 km northwest of Massa in the Lunigiana, facing the Monte Sillara (1,861 m). The communal territory is crossed by the Bagnone torrent, a left affluence of the Magra River.
Sights include the castle, the churches of San Niccolò (rebuilt in the 18th century, including a 15th century Madonna del Pianto from the medieval edifice) and San Leonardo (1785) and the oratory of San Terenzio (housing 17th century paintings).
On Saturday 22 August 2009, Ugo Verni, a player from Bagnone won an estimated €146.9 million (£128 million / US$211 million) in Italy's SuperEnalotto.[2] This is thought to be Europe's biggest ever lottery win, and is one of the biggest wins ever anywhere.[2]
