FIASCHERINO
The two beaches of Fiascherino, in the eastern part of the municipality of Lerici, are located along the road that leads from the center of Lerici to the hamlet of Tellaro, between Punta di Mezzana and Punta di Treggiano.
The Lino canal, Arliano of the old documents, flows into the bay where they are located; excellent landing place, also favored by the perennial spring located at sea level, marked in the ancient Medici and Vatican Portulans
.
In the local dialect Fescaìn, Fiascaìn. Among the various hypotheses on the etymology of the toponym, it is worth mentioning the probable derivation from the toponymic skalia, however discreetly attested in Liguria for hydrographic oronyms and toponyms having particular morphological aspects (stone fragment, flaking rock).
In the locality, rich in schists, there is a huge flaking rock called in dialect Ròca morta (Dead rock). Historical toponym, of the oral and cartographic tradition.
Fiascherino is an ideal place for diving from the rocks: deep seabed, easy ascent and variable heights.
Fiascherino is the Feschalino of the Pelavicino Code, mentioned in document N.378 of 18 February 1235, with olive groves, woods and vineyards that reached the public road from the sea.
In September 1913, the site was chosen by D.H. Lawrence and his partner Frieda Von Richtofen to stay in the Gambroisier pink cottage until June 1914.
The cottage is not the one you can still see above the beach, but it was located on the right side of the Lino canal.
An evocative place, which has fostered the friendship between the Serrese poet Paolo Bertolani and the poet Charles Tomlinson.
We remember the beautiful poem 'The house of Charles' by Paolo Bertolani, which testifies to their relationship.
The house where Charles Tomlinson resided in 1949 was in Fiascherino. Historically they were the beaches of the inhabitants of La Serra, a fraction of Lerici, who descended to the sea from the path that connected the village of Serra to the inlets of Fiascherino.
