Sassello, Municipality in Ligurian Apennines, Italy
The commune of Sassello lies at 405 meters elevation, surrounded by mountain landscapes in the Province of Savona, 58 kilometers west of Genoa.
The first mention of Sassello appears in an Imperial document from 967 AD, after which it passed through the control of multiple noble families.
During the ironworks period between 1570 and 1670, Sassello developed a literary tradition with local writers producing works in the regional dialect.
The territory of Sassello extends into the Regional Park of Mount Beigua, providing numerous trails for mountain activities throughout the year.
The region experienced an industrial peak during the 17th century when its population reached 5,000 people due to the presence of iron manufacturing facilities.
