Parish Church of Missano

Highlight • Religious Site

It is located on a hill at approximately 322 m above sea level. and the territory of the hamlet is made up of the steep terraces distributed along the provincial road 523 of Colle di Centocroci, which connects the Genoese valley of the Petronio stream with the middle Val di Vara in the province of La Spezia. A first mention of the church of the village of Missano can be found in the papal bull Officii nostri of Alexander III of 16 March 1162, where it is indicated as a possession of the Benedictine abbey of San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte (Camogli). Another document that commemorates the town is an act of territorial cession from 1189 by the Genoese consuls. The construction of what later, variously modified and enlarged, would become the local parish church also dates back to the 12th century. In the 17th century, the flourishing artisanal activity of the «corbari of that place inhabiting the church of Missano» is remembered: «The genesis of this activity, characteristic of the church of Missano and of the nearby Villa del Connio, was probably linked to the cultivation of the vine, the whose collection required the use of light, capacious and shoulder-carrying containers, of which the "corba" represents the most suitable model". «The corbari of Missano are baskets made with chestnut shoots, particularly flexible and resistant, therefore suitable for being woven and holding a heavy load. Today they are almost a museum object and it is surprising to think that there were different sizes: children, women, men up to 50 kilos in weight"

Mola Pass (650 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Passo della Mola is a nice alternative to the parallel Passo del Bracco to get from the sea to Varatal.
With good visibility you have a great view up here. Both to the north to the French Maritime Alps as well as to the south, where on some days the mountains of the Apuan Alps are within reach.

View of Moneglia Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Going up the Aurelia from Riva Trigoso, when you reach the crossroads to go down to Moneglia, the view suddenly opens up over the bay of Moneglia, surrounded by the green of the woods and olive groves that surround it.

View of the Gulf of Tigullio

Highlight • Viewpoint

In this stretch the Aurelia gradually climbs with an average gradient of 5%-6%. Every now and then, some very suggestive views open up over the Gulf of Tigullio, with the promontory of Portofino as a backdrop.
