Completely immersed in greenery, in the Argentina valley. To reach it, a well-maintained carriage road and a footpath. Around spaces equipped for picnics.
A charming place, immersed in the peace of the forest
Beautiful
A place to visit absolutely, very suggestive for its history: in August 1944, a few days after the massacre of Sant’Anna di Stazzema, a bloody military operation on the meadows of Monte Faudo killed 13 unarmed peasants. Then the soldiers continued descending towards the Argentina valley from the Vèna pass, they killed two Montalto peasants they met on the path. When they reached the Shrine of Our Lady of Acquasanta, they gathered the orphans housed in the shelter together with two priests. The two monks were firmly opposed to the threat of killing all the children and were first savagely beaten and then shot and killed. The children locked in the sanctuary witnessed the massacre. The soldiers finally reached the town of Montalto where they killed three other civilians and returned to Taggia. These episodes are now widely documented and consigned to history in the truth of the facts in the face of multiple attempts to distort reality. To complete the experience it is therefore useful to continue towards the museum of the resistance of Carpasio, half an hour by car from the sanctuary. (check opening times)
