Levanto Castle was a defensive building located between Salita San Giorgio and Salita al Castello in the southern part of the historic center of Levanto, in the province of La Spezia. The site is part of the town's ancient walls. HISTORY: According to some historical sources, the existence of a defensive building in the then Levanto village was documented and confirmed as early as 1165, during the Malaspina rule in the area. Around the 13th century, a document attests to its presence under the name "Castello di Monale." The current building, however, dates back to the rule of the Republic of Genoa, and therefore to the second half of the 16th century[1], perhaps a reconstruction from scratch on the site of the pre-existing medieval castle; the reconstruction of the town's old walls is documented. With the creation of the Captaincy of Levanto in 1637, it served as the temporary seat of the Captain and, subsequently, as a prison until the fall of the Genoese Republic under Napoleonic rule in 1797. In the second half of the 19th century, it was sold to the state and, after conservative restoration between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, it remains privately owned today.

One of the wonderfully told stories about the two protagonists, "Don Camillo and Peppone," conceived by the Italian writer Giovanni Guareschi, also involves the Virgin Mary. Peppone's youngest son is seriously ill, so one evening the communist mayor sets out for the church with five large candles. Don Camillo intends to place them in front of the crucifix on the high altar, but Peppone objects and wants the candles placed in the Chapel of Our Lady: "This one belongs to your party. Light them in front of this one over there, who doesn't practice politics." After he leaves, Don Camillo—who, as always, is conversing with the crucified Christ—begs him "not to be harsh with him." The dialogue continues: "And why should I?" whispered Christ. "By honoring my mother, he fills my heart with gentleness. I'm only a little displeased that he called her 'that one.'" Don Camillo shook his head. "You didn't hear well," he objected. "He said, 'Light them all before the Blessed Immaculate Virgin in that chapel over there.'" (Giovanni Guareschi in "Five and Five")
