Stop At: Capo Noli, Noli Italy

Noli, with its tranquil bay sheltered from the winds that ends with the promontory of Capo Noli, is one of the most interesting historical centers of the Western Liguria.
Porta di Piazza is the main entrance on the second city wall (XII-XIII century). In the square stands the Town Hall which was the center of the political and economic life of the Republic. Remodeled over the centuries, it has four ogival mullioned windows and a sundial on the seafront. Next to it stands the Town Hall Tower (13th century) with its dovetail battlements, placed on a base in local green stone. As you walk around, you will see how the towers with their bold profile and the reddish hue of the bricks are the most significant emblem of the medieval Noli. From the town hall, you pass under the two large arches of the Loggia della Repubblica (14th-15th centuries), from where, walking eastwards through a covered walk, you arrive in Piazza Dante. Here stands the Marina tower (13th century) which in 1673 was given by the Nolesi to Agostino Viale, sent by the Doge, for having prevented the Duke of Savoy from seizing the village.
Next to the tower is the elegant Viale-Salvarezza palace (late 17th century). Via Transylvania ends with the tower of Papone (XIII-XIV century), located just outside the first city wall and connected to the walkway of the walls that descend from the castle. Here the Republic held arms and ammunition, which with the Porta Papona railway line closed access to Monte Ursino, whose castle was the last refuge of the population in case of enemy attack.
The castle of the Del Carretto marquises (XII-XIV century) survived in the form assumed after the Genoese reconstructions of 1522, with fortifications and the powerful male enclosed in a polygonal enclosure. Clinging to the slopes of Monte Ursino is the Palazzo Vescovile, now converted into a hotel. Built in various eras, it preserves traces of frescoes, inscriptions, paintings and rooms dating from the 15th century. to 1770, when it was brought to its present form. Next to it is the church of Nostra Signora delle Grazie, built at the beginning of the seventeenth century and restored in 1769.
Coming down from via Vescovado to piazza Chiappella, we arrive at the oratory of Sant’Anna, a building of 1771 with an unfinished façade, from whose churchyard there is a beautiful view of the castle and the walls. Continuing to the right along Via Colombo, rich in medieval buildings (such as Casa Maglio in No. 17) and cut-off towers, we arrive at the 14th century door of San Giovanni surmounted by the tower of the same name crowned with battlements.
Once through the gate towards the city, you can see all four corners of the Torre del Canto (XIII century), so called because it is placed on the corner of several streets. Once in the square, we find the church of San Pietro, a cathedral from 1572, built on a Romanesque base in gray stone blocks (XII-XIII century) but rebuilt in the Baroque period. Noteworthy are the pulpit and the high altar of inlaid marble (1679), and the smaller altar which is actually a marvelous Roman or barbaric sarcophagus, reworked in the 15th century, and the early sixteenth century polyptych behind the altar.
Crossing the Giudecca district, one can see the remains of palaces and tower-houses, built in brick on large bases of green stone. Crossing the bridge, you reach San Paragorio, with its pinkish-white lines and the fifteenth-century portico flanked by medieval tombs. Cathedral from 1239 to 1572, it is one of the most important monuments in the region. The Romanesque structure (11th century) developed on an early Christian or early medieval church and has three naves inside with semicircular apses with walls frescoed in the century. XV. Noteworthy is the wooden crucifix in the Byzantine style of the 12th century, known as the "Holy Face", from which the mystery of the East and the unknown hands that carved it are released. Under the raised presbytery, a suggestive crypt opens up where the light is enclosed in a sphere of silence that only the nearby sea can break

Stop At: Varigotti Beach, Via Aurelia, Varigotti, Finale Ligure Italy

Varigotti is an important seaside resort, a destination for many Italian and foreign tourists, but also a beach sought after by the inhabitants of the area. The characteristic "Saracen village", with the vivid colors of its plasters and the square buildings, and the quality of its beaches have made Varigotti a famous tourist resort with a strong maritime touch.
Once an independent municipality, Varigotti was united with Final Pia in 1869 and in 1927 merged with today's Municipality of Finale Ligure, passages suffered not without complaints from the inhabitants with a strong identity spirit. The medieval remains of the fifteenth century that rise on the promontory are evidence of its historical past.

Towards Noli, the beach of the Baia dei Saraceni is one of the largest and most evocative free beaches in Liguria, surrounded by high rock faces and wild nature.
Varigotti has given birth to the film and television director Renato Castellani, to whom the pier is named.

Stop At: Antico Borgo Saraceno, Al Centro del Paese, 17022 Borgio Verezzi Italy

Like a pearl set in a jewel, as simple as it is beautiful, precious and elegant, Borgio Verezzi is set along the Riviera delle Palme between Finale and Pietra Ligure, in a game of shapes, colors and shades that captivates the most attentive gaze and demanding. It is no coincidence that this picturesque town between sea, rock and Mediterranean scents has been included in the Perle di Liguria circuit. And it is no coincidence that it is also included in that of the Most Italian Villages. Whether traveling alone or with family or friends, Borgio Verezzi knows how to charm and conquer. But it is when you travel as a couple that you experience the most exciting sensations.
In a triumph of pink stone buildings perched on the Orera hill, overlooking the magnificent Ligurian coast and immersed in a mix of irresistible aromas of thyme, lentisk, juniper, rosemary and lavender, this village reveals one of the most fascinating faces of Liguria, whose features are drawn by the intertwining of caruggi and creuze, once crossed by mules and carts, which cross and connect the four hamlets included in the municipal territory. Borgio Verezzi, in fact, was born from the union of two Municipalities, that of Borgio and that of Verezzi, for a harmonious and picturesque total of four different villages all exquisitely Ligurian: Poggio, Piazza, Roccaro and Crosa.
It would be enough to admire the magnificent view offered by the village, visit its caves, walk along the naturalistic, historical and botanical paths that frame it or climb the rocky walls of the Cava di Rio Fine, the Rocce dell'Orera or Monte Caprazoppa to fall in love with it. But it is penetrating to the heart of the four hamlets that one discovers the true soul of this locality and that one becomes for a moment like actors that tread a stage of exception. The hamlet of Piazza, in fact, for the past 50 years has been transformed, every year, into an open-air theater of which the characteristic Piazza di Sant'Agostino, a magnificent terrace watched over by a picturesque seventeenth-century church, is the marvelous stage on which the actors of the Theater Festival of Borgio Verezzi move.
To breathe an air of history, it is worth strolling through the streets of Crosa, the oldest village that seems almost carved into the rock. Right here the suggestive Grotte del borgo open. And it is here that the most interesting religious buildings are concentrated. Above it, not far from the Phoenician Mill, stands the so-called Cross of the Saints, positioned on a rocky spur by the Capuchin friars in the seventeenth century which, with its height of three and a half meters, is visible from every part of Verezzi . And for those who never had enough of this Ligurian gem carved in the rock, the appointment is among the beauties of the other two villages, that of Roccaro with its eighteenth-century chapel of the Madonna Immacolata, the only building in the village with the slate roof, and that of Poggio which develops along two orthogonal lines around its tower.

Stop At: Via del municipio, Finalborgo, Finale Ligure Italy

Finalborgo, one of the "most beautiful villages in Italy", is a jewel just a few steps from the sea that enchants with its atmosphere of times gone by. The name derives from Burgum Finarii, a border land (ad fines) in Roman times and administrative center of the Del Carretto marquisate between the 14th and 16th centuries. Closed between medieval walls still well preserved, interspersed with semi-circular towers and interrupted only at the doors, the Borgo di Finale (so called to distinguish it from the Marina) immediately offers the visitor a feeling of protection and meditation. The ancient defensive and community concept survives in the network of streets, arranged perpendicularly to each other to form fascinating foreshortenings in contained spaces. After crossing the narrow alleys, each square is a conquest and a surprise, able to exhibit wonders in the "Pietra del Finale", the slate that adorns doors, is modeled in columns, diamonds, ornaments.

The Historic Center of Finalborgo, the ancient Burgum Fiunarii, for several centuries the capital of the Marquisate and administrative center of Finale, rises in a strategic position on the alluvial plain at the confluence of the Pora and Aquila streams.

The origin of the village has always been traced back to the end of the 12th century, at the time of the Marquis Enrico il Guercio, but recent important archaeological discoveries seem to date back to a few centuries.
With the city walls (destroyed in 1448 and rebuilt in 1452), the different "doors": Porta Reale (from 1702 next to which it is possible to observe a large crest in relief of the Del Carretto), Porta Romana, Porta Testa (from 1452 ) and Porta Mezzaluna (higher up towards Forte San Giovanni), the semicircular towers that sometimes interrupted the walls (the most beautiful is visible on the south side), the Borgo preserves the characteristics of a fortified settlement in its fifteenth-century structure, after the destruction following the war with Genoa (1448). The fifteenth and Renaissance palaces, modified during the period of Spanish domination, embellish the urban fabric.

Palazzo del Municipio, originally from the Ricci family, is one of the best examples of early Renaissance architecture in Liguria;
Palazzo Cavassola (which hosted Pius VII, illustrates the decorative concepts of the Seventeenth Century Finale) and Palazzo Gallesio in via Gallesio;
Palazzo Brunengo in piazza Aicardi stands out for its double arched loggia (Loggia del Ramondo) and the large family crest which is by now barely visible;
Palazzo del Tribunale in the square of the same name (formerly the residence of the Del Carrettos, then of the Spanish and Genoese Governors, of the District Court, and finally of the Magistrate's Court), already denounces in the façade the complex transformations undergone in various periods;
Palazzo Messea and Palazzo Arnaldi (a splendid example of a Baroque-style façade, enlivened by extraordinary stuccos) in the same square;
Palazzo Chiazzari in piazzetta Doria.
