ミオーリア周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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.

The Mioglia area is located on the northern slope of the Ligurian Apennines, on the border between Liguria and Piedmont (province of Alessandria), in a vast plain crossed by the river of the same name, a right tributary of the Erro river.

Pleasant route inside the Adelasia Reserve (Sv).

The concept chosen by the architect for the "Croce del Beigua" does not conform to the usual pattern followed by many summit crosses. Rather than having a classic base as its foundation, it "grows" out of the roof of the chapel standing there, rising towards the sky in a massive form. The choice of material used for the construction – exposed concrete – clearly indicates its affiliation with the era of so-called "Brutalism." This is a modern architectural style popular in the post-World War II era, which deliberately avoids cladding or painted concrete. Another striking feature is that one of the two crossbeams of the cross is fitted with a railing.

Sassello, on the border between Piedmont and Liguria, has a wonderful centre where one could shoot films about the Middle Ages.
