Varese Ligure

Varese Ligure is primarily known for two things. Firstly, it is the "round village" and, secondly, everything is grown purely biologically in and around Varese Ligure, and for that it has earned the nickname of "the green village". The old round center of the village dates from the year 1161. At that time the Count Fieschi wanted to build a housing complex and a fortress at the same time due to the good location. next Apart from the Counts, the inhabitants were rich traders and craftsmen. The houses were built in the same style with 2 floors respectively. There were only 2 doors in the exterior house wall at that time, however only one is there today.

The beautifully renovated village stands attractively even today with its castle, the Ferrari palace and the numerous churches. Classical music concerts and stage productions take place in the round village center during summer evenings due to the special acoustics.

Another unique feature is the homemade pasta, which you should definetely taste in various restaurants in the village. From here, a special imprint is given to the "pasta cookies" using wooden stamps. This varies according to family, restaurant or the like.
