Torre del Borgo
Immersed in the heart of the ancient village of Lavagna, the Torre del Borgo stands proudly, a silent witness to centuries of history. Standing 13 meters tall, this imposing structure has dominated the cityscape for generations, offering a tangible landmark and a deep connection to the past.
Restoration and Rebirth
The Torre del Borgo is not only an icon for its grandeur, but also for its rebirth. Restored with love and dedication on the occasion of the Jubilee of 2000, the tower has become a true cultural treasure. This restoration has allowed it to return to being a hub of city life, hosting numerous cultural activities and becoming the home of a precious collection of slate works by the local sculptor Francesco Dallorso. Dallorso’s creations, expertly carved in lavagnina stone, tell ancient stories and deep emotions, capturing the gaze and soul of anyone who crosses the threshold of the tower.
The Rodolfo Alloisio Archaeological Collection
Hidden within the walls of the tower, lies the Rodolfo Alloisio archaeological collection, a true jewel that brings together finds from various eras and origins. This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s past, with Tuscan ceramics and Ligurian majolica mixing in a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes.
The Secret Garden
The magic of the Torre del Borgo does not end within its walls. Surrounded by a secret garden, almost hidden from the eyes of distracted visitors, the tower offers an oasis of peace and tranquility in the beating heart of the city. Here, among the scents of the plants and the singing of the birds, it is possible to lose yourself in an enveloping read or simply let yourself be carried away by the gentle passage of time.
An Unforgettable Trip
The Torre del Borgo continues to surprise and enchant, offering its visitors an unforgettable journey through the history and beauty of Lavagna. This unmissable place allows those who wish to completely immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere of this corner of paradise. With each visit, the tower reveals a new fragment of its long and fascinating history, making each experience unique and memorable.
Ultimately, the Torre del Borgo is much more than a simple monument: it is a living symbol of the resilience and culture of Lavagna, a place where the past and present blend harmoniously to offer a timeless experience.
