What To Expect
Pitelli
This small village stands uphill on the Eastern side of the Gulf of La Spezia. It was founded by local inhabitants, escaping the coastline during the moorish invasions of the 16th century. Afterwards, it has grown especially thanks to the business related to the nearby military arsenal of La Spezia. The Romanesque church of San Bartolomeo features a Carrara marble facade and outstanding Baroque interiors.

Lerici
One of the main centers of Eastern Liguria, Lerici was probably founded by the Etruscans and stood as a strategic commercial harbor since the Roman age. The town was a key point during the rivalry between Genoa and Pisa: initially controlled by the first, in 1241 it was occupied by the latter, whose authority empowered the structure of the majestic fortress aside the harbor. After many reversals, Lerici was ultimately ruled by the Genovese Republic from 1479, which gave to the castle its current look.

This small village was initially a settlement for fishermen and sailors, whose traces can be dated back to the Medieval age. It flourished with the commerce of wine and oil. The castle, on the Western part of the village, was built by local inhabitants around q400, to protect the town from the attacks of moorish pirates. A few hundred metres fro the centre, in the direction of Lerici, stands Villa Magni, which was the last residence of Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1822.
