The bounding communes of Noli are Finale Ligure, Spotorno and Vezzi Portio.

History

edit

The name Noli, testified in the form Naboli in the oldest documents (between 1004 and 1005), certainly derives from a form of Neapolis which means "new city" in Byzantine Greek (same etymology as for Naples).

It may be mentioned as Neapolis by 7th century geographer George of Cyprus.^[5]

The Republic of Noli was an independent republic from 1193 until 1797. In 1239 it became seat of a bishop; later on the diocese was united with that of Savona as the Diocese of Savona-Noli. The Napoleonic invasion in 1797 put an end to Noli's sovereignty.
