( Villa Faraldi Tovo )
Districts: , , Villa Faraldi Tovo
Once a feudal holding of the Clavesana family, this municipality passed into the hands of the Genoese in the thirteenth century. The village is today a cluster of houses and a maze of alleyways, whose vaults and arches lend the district great charm. As in the Diano area in general, the hills are covered with olive groves and dotted with stone huts used by shepherds.
The parvis outside the church of San Lorenzo (which gives you a splendid view over the valley) is the site of an important drama and music festival every summer. The church is of mediaeval origin and has three aisles. It was extended in the sixteenth century and embellished with white columns, stucco work and ornaments; the neo-classical façade is the work of Angelo Ardissone. Inside you can see a grave stone with one of the oldest Roman inscriptions found in Liguria and a canvas poliptych showing the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian.
If you wish to see a poliptych by Francalino (1578) you should visit the church of San Bernardo in Deglio; you can continue exploring art treasures by visiting the church of the Transfiguration in Riva, which preserves a fine wood group. As you leave Villa Faraldi and look up towards an overhanging rock you will notice an ancient white triangular column: this is a votary column similar to many others in the territory. They testify to popular devotion and commemorate important events; they also mark the route of the old mule-tracks, which were the only links between the districts until less than a hundred years ago. If you leave Villa Faraldi, passing by Molini and Riva Faraldi, you will see an old Roman bridge, the Caviglia water-mill, which is still in use, and the old ox-drawn mill at Tovo.
