Vargo is a hamlet of the municipality of Stazzano (AL) at about 410 m above sea level. During the Middle Ages it was an imperial fiefdom under the Genoese families of Fieschi and then Doria. In 1797 it was annexed to the Ligurian Republic and after the fall of Napoleon it followed the fate of the province of Novi, becoming part of Piedmont in 1859 with the Rattazzi Decree. It was an independent municipality until 1928. Vargo has a castle known since 1157, the year of the invasions of the troops following Barbarossa, but this construction was actually born as a signal tower in the Lombard era and is part of the so-called line of castles. The town developed concentrically around the “castle”, rebuilt by the Fieschi family of Genoa, lords of Vargo since 1413: after the conspiracy against the said feudal lords, it was dismantled in 1442, and later passed to the Doria family in 1547. Next to what must have been the south-east walls, there is still an oratory dedicated to the Virgin of the Annunciation, while today the once fortified structure is partly used as a residence, and the very visible main tower, inside which are the living quarters of the last owner, has not been altered.

The castle stands on the left bank of the Curone torrent and opposite the town, on a hill with steep and rugged sides, in a position suitable for controlling the valley below. Currently, the lower part of the massive quadrangular tower remains of the ancient and well-fortified manor. A staircase allows you to reach the access door to the tower, which is located about ten meters above ground level. Once past the door, another staircase allows you to climb to the top of the tower, from which you can see a beautiful view of the Curone Valley. The visit to the tower is suggestive, so it certainly deserves a stop.

In the late Middle Ages, the village was a fiefdom of the Genoese Spinola family until 1518, who built the castle in 1100. In 1518 Tolomeo Spinola was left without heirs and passed as an inheritance to his friend Agostino Adorno, of the Genoese Adorno family. In the 17th century the castle suffered serious damage following a landslide and shortly afterwards the current Botta Adorno castle and stately palace was built in its elegant style, still privately owned. The castle has an elegant Baroque style portal and a chapel dedicated to Saint Caterina Fieschi Adorno, great-granddaughter of Pope Innocent IV and wife of Giuliano Adorno, who lived between the 15th and 16th centuries.

The Castle of Torre Ratti, as cited in a document from 1413, was officially born with the concession as a fiefdom and the oath of loyalty made by the inhabitants of Borghetto di Borbera. In 1629, the square tower was added to the main structure and some internal changes were made. Subsequently, however, was the expansion carried out between the two towers and the construction of the rooms on the north side. The current appearance of the castle suggests that of a rich fortified residence, with late Renaissance and Baroque architectural features. An interesting Italian garden surrounds the architectural complex.
