Casella

Among the settlements of Liguria, Casella stands out for the historic narrow-gauge railway that connects it with Genoa. The town lies in the upper Scrivia valley, in the Ligurian Apennines behind the coast, where wooded slopes and small hamlets create a markedly different setting from the port city. Opened in 1929, the Genova–Casella Railway remains a distinctive part of local life, carrying passengers across inland ridges toward the metropolitan area. Casella is also a useful point from which to explore the valleys north of Genoa, where routes follow the contours of the Apennines rather than the Mediterranean shore.
