San Terenzo : a village near Tuscany / Un village près de la Toscane
The history of the town of San Terenzo is very ancient. It originated as a town in which predominantly fishermen lived and has maintained its integrity throughout the centuries as a typical fishing village in the region of Liguria.
San Terenzo is located just 2 kilometers from Lerici.
The ancient name of the town was Portiolo (perhaps an olive oil port or little port). The name changed many centuries ago to San Terenzo in honor of a wealthy pilgrim who came from far away Scotland and settled on the coast of the bay.
