Teccio del Tersè

The Teccio del Tersè features stone walls and spans 16 square meters within a dense chestnut forest along the Trexenda stream in Montagna di Quiliano.

Following September 8, 1943, partisan Gino De Marco transformed this agricultural structure into the first resistance base in the Savona region during World War II.

The building exemplifies traditional rural architecture of Liguria, demonstrating historical methods of chestnut processing and preservation essential to local agricultural practices.

Visitors can reach the site by following yellow markers on a 2.1-kilometer trail that starts near a church parking lot and gains 305 meters in elevation.

A commemorative plaque and poem by Maurizio Calvo from 1990 mark this structure, which served both as a chestnut drying facility and a wartime resistance shelter.
