VISITVARAZZE

Forget on the Roman site of Ad Navalia, Varazze appears as Varagine from the 10th century. The name recalls the Latin varare, 'to put to sea'. It was in fact a shipyards’ and landing place. Built on a hill, it was long disputed between Savona and Genoa, which acquired it in the 13th century from the Malocello’s family and the Marquises of Ponzone. It was transferred to Napoleon, then to the Kingdom of Sardinia. Its seafaring and shipbuilding vocation is still the foundation of its identity.
