Zoagli is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Genoa in the Italian region Liguria, located about 30 km southeast of Genoa.
[edit] History
Zoagli was probably founded by the Tigulli Ligurian tribe. In Roman times it appears as a center on the Via Aurelia in the Tabula Peutingeriana.
In the Middle Ages it was a fief of the Fieschi family from Lavagna, becoming a possession of the Republic of Genoa in the 13th century. In 1608 it was part of the capitaneato of Rapallo. In 1815, together with Genoa, it was annexed to the Kingdom of Sardinia, following its history.
On December 27, 1943 Zoagli was unexpectedly bombed, and nearly destroyed with many victims among the inhabitants, by RAF. The target of bombing apparently was the railway bridge, but the railway was totally inactive because destroyed in several points elsewhere.
