ボルゴマーロのおすすめランニングルート

Vasiaはかつて非常に豊かだった美しい村です。村のシンボルである非常に高い鐘楼、向かいにある洗礼堂、そして村にあるいくつかの壮大な別荘からそれがわかります。

Getting up here is challenging....but very rewarding, for the view and for the satisfaction of having pedaled among the olive trees in perfect solitude, listening to the rhythm of your breathing, with your legs pushing. Priceless emotions!!

the views are breathtaking

Villatalla: perhaps of origin prior to the Roman occupation. The toponyms with the Semitic-Aryan root "tala", "tel", "tula" which means "mountain, support" date back to the first inhabitants of the area. The toponym for some is of Provençal origin "small bicocca" or fortress, castle, located on the top of the mountain. - for observation, defense, fortress, etc., for others it means "flowered villa" from taleia which in Greek means flowered, but for most, and very probably with some foundation, Villa della Vallata from a total German etymology ... Wilhelm-thal, from the Lombard thal. Its parish church, already separated from the matrix of S. Giacomo di Prela in 1341, is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, a saint beloved by the Lombards, to whom they attributed their victory of Siponto in 663 over the Saracens. Note: until the 17th century, the Piedmontese used to call the Western Ligurians "i ficoni" meaning eaters, planters, fig traders. In Villatalla, an area behind the parish church is still called "vizzai" because in those lands the "vizze" (woven reeds) were placed with figs on top to dry in the sun. Cycling-wise, however, the view is worth all the effort to get to the village.

Worthy of note here is the ancient Maro Castle, of which only four stones remain. In ancient times, along with the less ruined Prelà Castello, it guarded the Via del Sale. It is of enormous historical importance. The village is truly beautiful, and I recommend a bike tour. Also noteworthy are the Doria Palace and the beautiful church square.

Central square of Vasia. Fountain and a little shade

Built by prisoners at the beginning of the century, as a fine, it is a beautiful church, but not particularly decorated. However, you can always see the inside. The location is panoramic, ruined by tall trees. It's worth ringing the bell in front for good luck, at full volume!

From here the view extends over the Prino valley to the sea. The sanctuary is a characteristic example of a neo-medieval building, finished in 1934, with historical memory value for the fallen of the First World War and for the prisoners who lent their work there, supported by their chaplain don Abbo, who died in concept of holiness. It is auspicious to ring the bell placed on the church square
