Noli: Cultura

Il registro dei visitatori è scolpito in una loggia. Le lapidi sotto la Loggia della Repubblica Nolese testimoniano il passaggio di Dante Alighieri — che nomina Noli nel Purgatorio — di Cristoforo Colombo il 31 maggio 1476, in partenza per il Portogallo, e di Giordano Bruno nel 1576.

Il santo patrono è arrivato per traslazione, non per nascita. Sant’Eugenio, vescovo proveniente dall’Africa, fu sepolto nell’isolotto di Bergeggi nel 505 e portato a Noli nel 1192; la sua festa è la seconda domenica di luglio, e nella concattedrale si conserva un quattrocentesco Pallio di Sant’Eugenio.

Il dialetto ha un nome proprio. Nell’area del Finalese la varietà locale di ligure si chiama finarìn; la forma nolese del nome del paese è Nöi.

E il piatto locale è protetto. I cicciarelli, preparazione a base di pesce minuto, hanno il riconoscimento di Presidio Slow Food. Il vino delle valli fra Noli e Finale Ligure è la Lumassina.

Verificato su Wikipedia — The Palazzo del Comune of Noli, of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, was the seat of the consuls and of the government of the Republic of Noli; the building underwent various transformations between 1797 and 1820. On the facade towards the sea promenade are, besides the restored sundial, four ogival polifore, partly blind and partly of restoration; inside the Sala del Consiglio, of the seventeenth century, are conserved fragments of late-medieval fresco cycles coming from the porta di San Giovanni. The Loggia della Repubblica Nolese stands near the Palazzo del Comune and dates to the same period; some plaques under the loggia attest the passage of various personalities, among them Dante Alighieri, with the citation of Noli in the Purgatorio of the Divina Commedia, Cristoforo Colombo on 31 May 1476 departing for Portugal, and Giordano Bruno in 1576. A column there has a bugnato capital, an element typical of the end of the Trecento and the beginning of the Quattrocento., The concattedrale di San Pietro at Noli, in piazza della Cattedrale, is the seat of the parish of that name in the vicariate of Finale Ligure of the diocese of Savona-Noli. Locally it is also known as the chiesa di San Pietro dei Pescatori, a name originating in the tithes on the proceeds of fishing on feast days, collected in the thirteenth century for the construction of the first religious structure. Only in 1572, with the transfer of the title of cathedral from the church of San Paragorio, did the ancient appellation change into today's dedication to the apostle Peter; to that period belong the adjoining bell tower, the perimeter walls of the church and the internal pillars. The building was transformed from the second half of the sixteenth century. There are also a processional cross in silver of 1417 and the Pallio di Sant'Eugenio of the fifteenth century., A noted bathing station of the Riviera di Ponente, Noli conserves the aspect of a seafaring borgo, characterised by narrow lanes (caruggi), many of them surmounted by supporting archetti. The comune has remained one of the few coastal borghi still to have local fishermen, who every night go out to sea with their small motorboats and return in the morning with the fish the gulf offers. Agricultural activity is based above all on the production of wine and olive oil; among the most prized wines is the Lumassina, produced in the valleys between Noli and Finale Ligure. Notable too is the production of cicciarelli, a fish-based dish which has obtained the recognition of a Slow Food Presidium. The comune has been included in the association I borghi piu belli d'Italia, and the locality has obtained from FEE-Italia the award of the Bandiera blu for the quality of its beaches.
