Municipality in the province of Savona which has around 200 inhabitants, Testico is located on the ridge that divides the two valleys of the Merula and Lerrone streams. The name seems to derive from Testagus, the hill on which the Romans built the first Testagi castrum. Of particular interest is the parish church of Saints Peter and Paul, which houses a valuable 16th century altarpiece by Lazzaro Tavarone. The climb that leads from Andora to Testico has been one of those included in the Trofeo Laigueglia race for professionals for years and the Gran Fondo Laigueglia also passes through here.
