Colle del Melogno (1028 m), a strategic pass between Liguria and Piedmont in the province of Savona, is known for its 19th-century fortifications (Forte Centrale, Tortagna, Settepani) built by the Royal Army (1883-1895) to defend the Tyrrhenian-Po Valley access. Historically, it was the scene of Napoleonic battles (1795) and partisan resistance.
