The interior of the church of San Giovanni in Chiavari
The interior of the church of San Giovanni in Chiavari.
One of the most beautiful and important churches in Chiavari and which houses the miraculous Black Christ.
“Non Surrexit Major” is engraved at the top of the broader phrase “Inter natos mulierum, non surrexit major Johanne Baptista” roughly translated as: “among those born of women there will not arise a greater than John the Baptist”.
The most represented Saint in Christian iconography.

I refer you to the Chiavari tourist promotion website: chiavariturismo.it. This is the official website of the town's municipality: comune.chiavari.ge.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
Every time I look for some book about the beautiful town of Chiavari I always come across these two books about its mysteries: Luoghi Misteriosi Chiavari. Giro della città in 38 segreti and La Loggia dei Rosa+Croce di Chiavari. If instead you want to have a guide that talks about Liguria and the Gulf of Tigullio in general I invite you to buy: Genova e il Tigullio by Lonely Planet.
