Sassello

Tiny village in the northern Ligurian Apennines with an unusual number of churches for its size and a handful of cafés and restaurants, Sassello sits within the Parco naturale regionale del Beigua and is the birthplace of Blessed Chiara Badano. The surrounding mountain terrain draws those after highland scenery, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
