The historic center of Sassello, nestled in the Savona hinterland, has ancient origins linked, according to legend, to the Romans Statielli and the Saracens (10th-century tower). Characterized by a medieval atmosphere, the village is known for its typical architecture, the historic production of amaretti (since 1860), and places of worship such as the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.

If you pass by Sassello, don't miss a taste of the typical Amaretti, whose sweet almond flavor is a joy for the palate.

Sassello is known for its sweets (Amaretti) and porcini mushrooms. There are enough bars and restaurants to try these goodies.
