During the 10th century the old Molonexius was the stronghold of Marca Obertenga.

It was the Genovese Monks of San Siro that civilized the area.

This territory was highly strategic because of its connections with the Oltregiogo.

After the Aleramica fall, the aristocratic Genovese families favored the entrance of the Viscounts and the lords of Milan in the Mornese territory.

But it was the noble Doria family that was protected by the Marquis of Monferrato that gave life to a flourishing feud and in 1736 it went into possession of the Savoy’s.

The communities of Mornese inspire beauty of the sublime landscape.

The natural gold of Gorzente relives in the fantastic memories of the past and today it lives exuberantly.

Therefore, among pine trees and torrents Mornese welcomes its more passionate tourists.
