Already an important coastal centre, La Spezia owed its development to the
construction of the Naval Arsenal (1860-1865), which was the idea of Cavour and
constructed according to a plan by Domenico Chiodo. The Public Gardens, which
were created in the early nineteenth century on the crest of the Napoleonic
dream (and, it was said at the time, in competition with those in Tokyo), are
the true feather in the city's cap. Originally known as the "Boschetto", these
enchanted gardens reflect the multifarious charms of nature throughout the
seasons.
The bandstand inside the gardens is a veritable jewel of Art Nouveau style.
Facing Palazzo Doria on the Via Chiodo is the lush garden park with its rare
decorative plants. Standing among the flower-beds are statues of La Spezia's
illustrious citizens. The gardens lead onto the Promenade, which offers a
spectacular view across the Gulf that is crowned by the sight of the Apuan Alps
and the hills sweeping gracefully down to the sea. The glimpse of tugs and
fishing boats rocking on the waves gives you an idea of the various activities
that are carried out in the Gulf. The La Spezia is widely appreciated for its
extremely mild climate and its ideal position in the Bay of Poets. Today, you
can make a special request to visit the Naval Arsenal, which has been very
successfully opened to the public.
Besides the exhibits of industrial archaeology, you can see sectors that are in
the vanguard of the shipping industry. The hillsides that surround the city are
a marvellous place to go for a stroll. Well worth a visit are the ancient
villages of Biassa and Campiglia, true oases of tranquillity and natural charm.
You can also visit the ancient parish church at Marinasco, which underwent
restoration in the eighteenth century. The most famous local foods are: "mes-
ciua" (a soup with mixed ingredient), vegetables cake and salted cod fritters.
The most famous wines are: Biassa white wine, Campiglia white wine, and
Marinasco white wine. There is no shortage of accommodation in La Spezia.
