Rovegno

Rovegno lies in the upper Trebbia valley among the Ligurian mountains. In the Lombard period its lands belonged to the abbey of Saint Columbanus at Bobbio. The counts of Lavagna later held the district, followed by Genoa and the Doria family. It formed part of the Doria mountain lordships associated with Torriglia until the imperial fiefs were abolished in 1797, when Rovegno entered the new Ligurian Republic.
