They crossed the Alps and occupy the Italian land from the river Adige to the Maritime Alps, and the Appennnines Valleys to the rivers Serchio, Magra and Arno. They were divided in several independent tribes ready to join their forces against enemies. The Etruscans attacked them and drove them back behind the Magra.The Tigulli tribe settled in the land from Portofino and Punta Mesco (Moneglia area). It seems also that the Lapicini ('people who live in a rocky land') lived nearby Sestri Levante. These proud tribes who settled in that poor region between the mountains and the sea, where nomadic people, they didn’t live in towns, but in lonely farm houses built with stones. They built also some fortifications (castellari) to defend themselves from the enemy attack. In the years from 237 to 180 b.C. they were defeated several times from the Romans who worked hard to subdue them. After that the Romans built a road between Rome and the Gallie called Via Aurelia. Some ruins of that road still exist near Moneglia (at Bracco hamlet). During the age of Cesare Augusto (14 a.C.) Moneglia was a part of the IX REGIO and was mentioned in the Empire headquarters paper (Vatican Museum). Lemeglio, a Moneglia hamlet, is named in the 'tabula alimentaria', founded in 1747 in the town of Piacenza area. With this tabula, Traiano emperor, who died in 117 a.C., gave to Velleia orphans money, town and hamlets among which Lemmelius ('where there is a mile'). Later on Moneglia - Ad Monilia, that means way toward 'pagus Monilia', is mentioned - during the kingdom of Teodosio I (346 - 395 a.c.) in the roadmap Tabula Peutingeriana, kept by the national library of Vienna. This 'tabula' can be considered a roadmap of Roman Empire; it represents the world known at that time and takes its name from the antiquarian Augsburg K. Peutinger (1465 - 1547). Moneglia is mentioned in a donation act of the year 1033. In this act marquis Adalberto gave to the monastery N.S. of Castiglione from Parma the 'decima' (a tax) on his ownership 'in loci ... Monelia'. In 641 Rotari, King of Longobards, sacked many hamlets of Riviera included Moneglia. It seems that at the beginning of the XI century the hamlet of Lemeglio had been destroyed by an horde of Saracen soldiers - leaded by the wild Mugiahid - already housed in Luni on the Magra river. Besides killing many people they also kidnapped 22 women. When Genoa and its territory moved from the Longobard to the French domination some Counts and some Marquises were created. The Marquis Oberto of Este was the Liguria chef. In 1027 Arrigo IV king of Germany and Italy confirmed the rights of brothers Ugo and Fosco, sons of Azzo, Marquis of Este, regarding the Liguria goods, including Moneglia. In 1299 Moneglia and may other towns of that area swore loyalty to Azzo VIII of Este, duke of Modena. In 1173, when Moneglia was part of Genoa Republic, the construction of Monleone fortress was decided. This fortress was located on a hillock to defend the occidental part of the town. It was built in a very short time by the Ingone of Flessa consul. In 1174 it was besieged by Count Obizzo Malaspina armies who, pushed by the Pisa Republic (old enemy of Genoa’s) took control of the town along with Counts Da Passano and Lavagna’s armies leading 3000 infantrymen and 150 cavaliers. Immersed in the peacefulness of the bay, yet central with wellserved connections to all the other areas of East Liguria, and very close to the Cinque Terre, Moneglia really is the choice for those who want a relaxing yet lively holiday ali in one. The one aspect of this town that will strike you most is the friendliness and openness of the local people. They are always ready to provide information or suggest itineraries: In other words, in Moneglia hospitality is at home Moneglia area SPRING THAT LASTS ONE YEAR It is the climate that makes Liguria so different than other regions in the North of Italy. In Moneglia, you will never get fog, frost or snow at any time of the year. In the crisp days of winter, the sea sparkles brighter still than in the summer and the bright yellow flowers of the mimosa bush stand out on the hillsides. In springtime you can already take a dip in the sea and in summer the breeze and deep green hills protect the town from oppressive humidity. The summer season, once the hottest days are over, rolls softly on into the warmth of October when the northerly tramontana winds blow, giving the sea and sky a particularly blu hue. BUT THE WINTER IS THE BEST SEASON The low-lying sun casts a wonderful light on the motionless sea and the beaches are free from the umbrellas and the frenetic to-and-fro of the summer months. The air is warm. The hills that encircle the bay protect the town from the cold north winds and seagulls glide lazily in the sky waiting to dart down on a flash of anchovies on the surface of the water. The noise and confusion of city lite seem far away and almost unreal. In Moneglia winter is the best season . BETWEEN PUNTA MONEGLIA E PUNTA ROSPO Here the beach is of fine golden sand, surrounded by the rocky headland that juts out to sea and scented with the smells of the Mediterranean maquis. Between Punta Rospo to the east and Punta Moneglia to the west, and even as far as Punta Manara, the steep rocks which cut into the sea like vertical blades conceal hidden coves, l'Orto dei Preti, la Valletta, la Ituspea, while the surrounding Mediterranean vegetation makes its way up to the mountains of Moneglia, Mezzema and Incisa, aver 500 metres above sea level. On narrow terraces of land or fasce olives, and vines are cultivated, paths run through the pine and oak forests in the thick undergrowth of wild strawberries, myrtle and ferns, where the only sounds are the chirping of the birds and the rustle of the wind and where from the highest points you look out onto the sweeping vistas of the Riviera and the open sea. TRUE MEDITERRANEAN MAQUIS A deep green colours the hills throughout the year and a heady perfume fills the air. This is the fascination of the Mediterranean maquis, which surrounds Moneglia. The light of the sun filters through the plumes of the maritime pines and the oaks, warming the fairytale like forest floor, where it seems as if you might see an elf walking along the paths, between the red sarsaparilla berries and the light blue flowers of wild lavender Arrival and distancesArrival day: SaturdayDistance to next airport: airport of Pisa 120 Km Distance to next trainstation: Moneglia 3 Km Distance to next motorway: SESTRI LEVANTE 7 Km Distance to next shop: 3 Km Sport facilities nearbyDiving, Fishing, Surfing, Swimming, Tennis,Theme of holidays
