Hi, I think it's because they opened the dam's locks not long ago, my friends and I would like to do Lavagnina-Genoa Pegli, do you have any advice?

The castle built on a 13th century fortification - is accessed via a steep climb starting from the small square where the ancient municipal building with loggia stood. Enfeoffed to the Doria family between the 14th and 16th centuries, the castle saw the succession of many families: Da Passano, Pallavicino, Serra, Spinola and Orsini Pio di Savoia. The guise in which it appears today dates back to the 18th century, when it was adapted by the Serra family into an elegant country residence. The castle, owned by the Doria family of Montaldeo since the beginning of the 19th century, has a complex structure in which the original structures survive, vestiges of previous use: the apparatus protruding on double brackets, the battlements and the configuration of the keep. One of the towers, which became an artist's studio in the last century and overlooks the surrounding landscape with large windows, offers a priceless view that sweeps over the Alpine chain, from Monviso to Monte Rosa, and over the Apennines, up to the Piacenza mountains

The Lavagnina lakes are two artificial lakes in the Ligurian Apennines in the province of Alessandria and concern the municipalities of Casaleggio Boiro, Mornese and Bosio. The lakes are called one Upper Lake and the other Lower Lake. Unfortunately today 05/26/24 the lakes are completely without water

The castle of Novi Ligure is located near the historic center of Novi Ligure and was for centuries the extreme northern border of the Republic of Genoa. It is part of the "Open Castles" circuit of Lower Piedmont. Only the tower and some sections of the surrounding walls remain of the castle, which today delimit part of the large park. It was crowned by a Ghibelline battlement which has been lost but is still perceptible, despite the current covering with a tile roof.

The Museum of the Champions is dedicated to two legends of Italian sport, Costante Girardengo and Fausto Coppi. Both lived most of their lives in Novi (Girardengo was also born there, in 1893) and have always been very much in love with their homelands. Although it is a nickname that became famous thanks to Coppi between the 1940s and 1950s, the first "Campionissimo" of Italian sport was Girardengo, winner of two Tours of Italy, six Milan-San Remo and three Tours of Lombardy.
