Splendid views to Sanremo and Ospedaletti

Name: Coldirodi
Item: Coldirodi
Author: KarlH

The village is lying along the ridge of the hill that separates the bays of Sanremo and Ospedaletti in a wonderful panoramic position. Formerly it was called Colla. Even today the inhabitants are called collantini.

The modern Coldirodi name originates from the legendary presence of the Knights of Rhodes. In the Middle Ages, back from a crusade, the Knights of Rhodes (formerly Knights of Jerusalem, then Malta) would stop here to take care of wounded comrades. They installed a hospital near in Ospedaletti.

Visit the exhibition in Villa Luca. Established in 1865 by the priest Paul Rambaldi. Paintings by Salvator Rosa (remarkable the one with the Temptation of St. Anthony). Not to mention the collection of Tuscan painters of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
