BUSALLA (GE)
“Il Ninfeo”
No one is certain about the origins of the name Busalla. It may refer to the ‘busi’ as the hollows of the Scrivia river were called.
Another popular theory is that the name derives from ‘brucialla’, a reference to the village’s turbulent history of being sacked and burned by invading armies. Wild roses and rose syrup are the area’s renowned specialties, attracting many tourists.
