Big Holes In My Tonsils



Varzi

most important center of the entire Valley Staffora Varzi still has a structure typically medieval. Varzi's origins date back to centuries before the birth of Christ at that time it occupied the Ligurian peoples Staffora Valley and settled in the territory and founded several towns. Affected by the invasion of the Romans for many centuries and included among the possessions of the monastery of Bobbio, Varzi owes its development solely to Malaspina, through which bought it in the medieval period considerable prestige. What greater witness to the vital role that the Marquis had to Varzi is the Malaspina Castle, now the palace of the Counts of Odetti Marcolengo.

The old town, stretched between the Staffora and main street, at the ends of the main two towers that guarded the gates up area in the fifteenth century: the Door skirt to the west and Port Soprana, to the east. Between the two towers is the church of the Reds and the Whites, the name of the brotherhood who attend, both made in the style of Baroque in the seventeenth century. Walking through the narrow streets of the village is not unusual to find charming views.
Varzi is still the symbolic center of the entire Valley Staffora: medieval village of outstanding beauty and is known also renowned for the production of salami, one of the only Northern Italy to have obtained the DOP
