The Race of the Popes
The Savona Half Marathon 2023 is also nicknamed the “Race of the Popes” in honour of the city’s glorious past. Not everyone knows that Savona was the birthplace of two popes, Sixtus IV and Julius II, important patrons of Italian Renaissance art belonging to the Savonese Della Rovere family. Not to mention Pius VII, who, although not Ligurian, spent his captivity in the city by order of Napoleon.”
