カッシネッレ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.

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

Remains of an ancient Roman aqueduct that ennoble our city, rich in history of the distant civilization of the Roman Empire. Many other remains scattered in the area testify to the importance of the spa since ancient times. In addition, the barbarism exercised over the decades by the various questionable thematic administrations has reduced it to a minimum, leaving the ancient splendor to total decay.

In the middle of downtown Acqui Terme, Piazza Bollente is probably the main attraction of the beautiful city. Here stands the small Greek fountain temple, Fontana della Bollente, built in 1879, from which 74.5 degree hot, sulphurous water gushes. In addition to sulphur, it also contains iodine, salt and bromine and is healing for the respiratory tract and bloodstream.

Popular legends linked to its origin and age gather around the Rovere di Tiglieto. In fact, it was said that it had been planted by Napoleon's troops during the Italian Campaign. Other sources report that a horseshoe bearing the symbol "N", the imperial monogram, was nailed to the trunk of the plant. It is said that a Dragoon of the French army, passing through the area and forced to change his horse's shoes, wanted to leave a sign of his passage. Some old people in the town say that as children they saw iron sticking out of the trunk. Today, on the surface of the trunk, there is no longer any trace of it, perhaps completely incorporated into the bark.
