Uscio
alive, charming, animated. Uscio in a happy location, turned towards that sea of
Golfo Paradiso that mitigates its climate extremes both in winter and in summer.
Surrounded by woods, it offers its guests the pleasure
of a biting air that vivifies and stimulates. One is always willing to go
back. This is the reason why in 1906 Carlo Arnaldi established his Colonia (Health
Resort) in this area.
Uscio
is proud of its past, so ancient to get lost in the traces of pre-history, but
it does not loiter behind. Already a set passage in the past days for the trade
between Fontanabuona and the coast, today Uscio finds itself on a tourist
itinerary that links the liveliness of the coast to the quiet of the hills and
offers an easy access to peaceful sojourns and pleasant traditional cooking.
Characteristic are the “trofie matte”, made with chestnut flour.
The
important Romanesque Pieve, dating back to the XII century, gives evidence, with
its Lombard style and its meaningful naming after Sant’Ambrogio, both to its
ancient dependence thereto as well as its supremacy over the territory. To be
seen, among other things, the fifteenth century beautiful wooden polychrome
statue. On mount Borgo there are traces of the most ancient terraced land strip
with dry-stone walls (X century B.C.) that characterized thereafter the Ligurian
landscape.
