モラー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.

Mount Beigua is a mountain range in the Ligurian Apennines, 1,287 meters above sea level, located on the Ligurian-Po watershed. It is the highest peak of the so-called "Beigua group," which includes nearby Mount Grosso, Mount Ermetta, and Bric Veciri.

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.

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.
