Very nice. It is lively there.

with the victims of the fascists, the Allied bombing raids, partisans, those killed "for the Fatherland," and those killed in France... The "fallen for liberation" were: Mario Carrodano (Peota), along with a group of young people from Biassa, whom he was leading to the base of a partisan group called "Justice and Liberation," was surprised by German soldiers and wounded in the shoulder while attempting to escape. They managed to escape, reaching the hamlet of Garbugliaga, where they were cared for by local residents. While Carrodano could not continue, the rest of the group made their way to the partisan camp. Carrodano was discovered shortly thereafter, on October 8, 1944, by fascists who shot him on the spot. He was buried in Biasso after the war. Domenico Carro, born in 1926, was among the first partisans in the area. He managed to join a Blackshirt brigade with the intention of blowing up their barracks. He was discovered and executed on April 4, 1945, at the age of 19. Nothing further is known about Egidio Arrienti. Above the square stands an austere memorial to the victims of the two world wars and the "National Liberation Struggle." https://sss.labcd.unipi.it/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Natale2.pdf

Along this stretch, the coastal road offers a splendid view of Corniglia, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. It is the only village in the Cinque Terre without a port, and its isolated location makes it particularly charming. The coastal road leading to Corniglia in this area is scenic and winding, with glimpses of both the open sea and the terraced vineyards typical of these coasts.

Passo Alpicella is located at 710m above sea level and is part of the 42nd stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri. It is located on the watershed ridge between Val di Vara and Valle del Magra, offering open views that on clear days reach the Apuan Alps and the Gulf of Poets.

The dirt road that connects the Alpicella Pass to the Valico dei Solini follows the ridge that separates the Val di Vara from the Valle del Magra, offering truly suggestive views on both sides. The surface is mostly hard and compact, and does not present any particular cycling problems. Only in some short sections do you encounter loose sections, with stones that are also quite large, but still easily surmountable without significant technical difficulties. The difference in height is limited, which makes this route pleasant and rideable in both directions.

The dirt road that connects the hamlet of Bagatello to Valico dei Solini follows the route of the 43rd stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri (Ceparana–Valico dei Solini) and also partly coincides with a segment of the Lunigiana Gravel. The route is easy to ride: the surface is largely compact and stable, ideal for gravel and MTB. Some short sections have a slightly more unstable surface, with loose gravel or uneven terrain, but overall the ride is smooth and pleasant, even uphill. The natural setting is very suggestive, with wooded sections and open views towards the Val di Vara.

The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri unites in a single long trekking itinerary the paths of the peaks of the Apennines from Val di Vara to Val Nervia, connecting the existing regional parks from Ceparana to Ventimiglia. The stretch we walked starts near the medieval village of Bolano and first climbs to the Solini pass and then reaches the Apicella pass and from there goes back up to the Casoni pass. Continuing on the ridge it touches the slopes of Mount Cornovigilio and the Rastrello and Calzavitello passes.
