Santi Lorenzo e Mamiliano (20th century), the main parish church of the village, it was consecrated in 1958 and designed by engineer Ernesto Ganelli.[3]
In 2012, the village received prolonged international media attention, following the 13 January 2012 running aground of the cruise liner Costa Concordia, just off the town's harbour. Most of the more than 4,200 passengers and crew were rescued and taken to the island, as well as to the mainland. 32 people died and 64 were injured.[4] The ship removal work was started in 2013 and was completed towards the end of July 2014, with the now active ship making its final journey to Genoa, for scrapping.[5]
