LERICI, sea, nature, culture

Located in one of the most beautiful bays in the Eastern Ligurian Riviera, Lerici offers the perfect combination between pastand present: packed with historical and artistic treasures and religious tradition, this small town lives up to its name as a modern, well-equipped seaside resort. The region has always been a popular destination among the best poets and artists. Consequently, Lerici is known the world over as "The Gulf of Poets". Lerici is famous for its mild climate, its sea and beaches, its walks, its historical and architectural heritage, its culture and its excellent cuisine. The municipal area does not just include the famous Gulf between the Castles of San Terenzo and Lerici, along with the long beach of Venere Azzurra, but it also covers the picturesque hillside villages connected by panoramic trails and the hidden, secluded bays which open up in between the cliffs, as can be seen around Fiascherino and other small architectural gems such as Tellaro. Since the history of Lerici has been lost in the mists of time, we don't know exactly when it was founded, but by studying its ancient name of "Portus Illycis", which could come from the Greek “Iliakos" (meaning Ilium or Troy), we can imagine that it was established by a group of exiles from the Trojan War. Lerici was an important port in the Middle Ages, which had always been linked to the diocese of the Bishop of Luni: it was the point of arrival for wayfarers, pilgrims and merchants, who wanted to reach Northern Italy and Central Europe by travelling through the nerve centre of Sarzana. A road branches off Via Francigena leading to the Gulf of Poets since pilgrims for S. Jacopo di Compostela or for Rome used to leave from Lerici. It witnessed its greatest urban development between 1600 and 1700 thanks to the ship-owning nobility who lived in the town. Their ancient palaces and villas remain today. In the 1800s, so many illustrious things were written on the Risorgimento that Garibaldi called the people of Lerici "the strongest and most energetic in Italy". In 1857, Carlo Pisacane gathered eight of his loyal companions in Lerici for his expedition to Sapri, but the person who best embodied the spirit of the Risorgimento was Giuseppe Petriccioli. Together with Felice Orsini and Carlo Pisacane, he raised the Italian flag at Milan's Cathedral having fought long and hard at the barricades during the "Five Days of Milan".
