Each district hires its own fireworks company, each gets its own display, and each wants to be louder and more spectacular than its neighbors. This division dates back to the early 20th century, whereas the name \u201cSagra del Fuoco\u201d is less than thirty years old.<\/p>\n<p>On the night of September 8, Spiaggia will begin at 11:00 p.m. from the West Pier, followed by San Martino and, from the East Pier across the way, Liceto. The following night, it will be Bastia, Ponte, and Collodari\u2019s turn. Verzemma is an exception and will be set off on September 8 at 1:00 p.m., in the middle of the day.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at the names of the companies in the program, you\u2019ll see a map of the Italian pyrotechnics industry: Sant\u2019Antimo and Acerra near Naples, Visciano, Pannarano in the Sannio region, Cava de\u2018 Tirreni, Bagheria near Palermo, and Arqu\u00e0 Polesine in the Veneto region. Anyone who\u2019s anyone in the industry comes to Recco.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Was_sind_die_mascoli\"><\/span>What are the mascoli?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <em>mascoli<\/em> These are old Ligurian mortars, firmly anchored in the ground, which do not send fireworks into the sky but instead thunder in rhythmic succession. They are not merely an accompaniment to the fireworks display but the older part of the festival. On the Riviera di Levante, the coast east of Genoa, such salutes of honor have been documented since at least the 17th century; in Recco, evidence dates back to the early 1400s and has been linked from the very beginning to the veneration of the Suffragina, as the people of Recco call their Madonna.<\/p>\n<p>In the church of Megli, a neighborhood high above the coast, there is a votive panel dating from around 1700: it depicts a man wearing a tricorn hat watching such a volley. And in 1896, in his *Storia di Recco*, the priest Giacomo Olcese wrote that on September 8, an extraordinary number of visitors come to the town. So this festival has been drawing crowds for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p>The mascoli are lit in the stream bed in front of the Santuario\u2014at 12:30 p.m. by Verzemma and at midnight by San Martino\u2014as well as along the procession route on the evening of September 8.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Die_Suffragina_und_der_8_September\"><\/span>The Suffragina and September 8<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Santuario di Nostra Signora del Suffragio on Via Roma has been dedicated to the Vergine del Suffragio since 1710; devotion to her in Recco dates back even further and can be traced to before 1557. On September 8, 1824, Cardinal Luigi Lambruschini solemnly crowned the statue on behalf of the Vatican Chapter; in 2000, the church was designated as the Jubilee Church of the Diocese of Genoa.<\/p>\n<p>It is remarkable that this festival is still held at all. Starting on November 10, 1943, Recco was bombed 27 times; 127 people died, and the town lay in ruins. September 8, however, endured, and the neighborhoods have reclaimed it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/recco-golfo-paradiso-kuestenstadt-pexels-15484025.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"View of Recco on the Ligurian coast, with densely packed rows of houses between the sea and forested mountains\" title=\"Recco \u2013 A coastal town on the Golfo Paradiso\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/recco-golfo-paradiso-kuestenstadt-pexels-15484025.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/recco-golfo-paradiso-kuestenstadt-pexels-15484025-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/recco-golfo-paradiso-kuestenstadt-pexels-15484025-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/recco-golfo-paradiso-kuestenstadt-pexels-15484025-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/recco-golfo-paradiso-kuestenstadt-pexels-15484025-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/recco-golfo-paradiso-kuestenstadt-pexels-15484025-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/recco-golfo-paradiso-kuestenstadt-pexels-15484025-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Recco is nestled between the mountains and the sea on the Golfo Paradiso \u00b7 \u00a9 pexels.com<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wie_kommst_du_nach_Recco\"><\/span>How do you get to Recco?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By train. Recco is located along the Genoa\u2013La Spezia coastline; the train station is within walking distance of the harbor, and the municipality has announced additional trains operated by Trenitalia and the bus company AMT for the fireworks evenings. The Genoa airport is about 30 kilometers away; take the Recco exit on the A12.<\/p>\n<p>On September 7 and 8, however, driving is still the worse choice. During the festival, no-parking zones and changes to pedestrian and vehicle routes will be in effect in accordance with the safety regulations issued by the mayor and the city police; therefore, the Monday market on September 7 is canceled. For details on which streets are closed, contact the city police at +39 0185 7291283; for tourist information, contact Pro Loco, the local tourism association, at +39 0185 722440.<\/p>\n<p>The third option is by water. The Golfo Paradiso ferry company runs trips out to the fireworks on both evenings, but they depart from Genoa and Camogli\u2014the neighboring town on the Portofino Peninsula\u2014not from Recco. From the boat, you can see both piers at the same time, and you\u2019ll save yourself the trip back through the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card inw-card--plain\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E7EC; border-radius: 2px; padding: 30px 32px; background: #FBFCFD; color: #2B3138; line-height: 1.7;\">\n<div class=\"inw-kicker\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.2em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #16263F; margin: 0 0 12px;\">BY BOAT<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"inw-h\">Trips to the Fireworks in Recco<\/h3>\n<hr class=\"inw-hr\" style=\"width: 34px; height: 2px; border: 0; background: #16263F; margin: 0 0 20px;\">\n<div class=\"inw-tablewrap\" style=\"overflow-x: auto;\">\n<table class=\"inw-table inw-table--spec\" style=\"width: 100%; table-layout: fixed; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 15.5px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0; min-width: 480px; word-break: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; hyphens: none;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"width: 55%;\">Departure on September 7 and 8<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"width: 45%;\">Price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"word-break: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; hyphens: none;\">Genoa Pegli, Molo Archetti, 9:00 p.m.<\/td>\n<td class=\"inw-preis\">\u20ac30.00 \u00b7 Children ages 4 to 12: \u20ac16.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"word-break: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; hyphens: none;\">Genoa Porto Antico, Calata Mandraccio, 9:30 p.m.<\/td>\n<td class=\"inw-preis\">29.00 \u20ac \u00b7 Children 16.00 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"word-break: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; hyphens: none;\">Genoa Nervi, Porticciolo, 10:00 p.m.<\/td>\n<td class=\"inw-preis\">29.00 \u20ac \u00b7 Children 16.00 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"word-break: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; hyphens: none;\">Camogli, Porticciolo, 10:30 p.m.<\/td>\n<td class=\"inw-preis\">\u20ac13.00 \u00b7 Children \u20ac8.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 18px 0 0;\">All prices are for round-trip travel.

This restriction does not apply to beverages served at neighborhood stands.<\/p>\n<p>Good to know: It gets loud\u2014louder than any fireworks display you\u2019ve ever seen. The mascoli are pure explosions, coming in rapid succession, and they echo between the rows of houses. Small children need ear protection, and those with sensitive ears should keep their distance. The best places to do both are out on the water or on one of the streets above the town, from where you\u2019ll have a better view of the piers anyway than from the front row on the Lungomare, Recco\u2019s waterfront promenade.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inw-note inw-note--warn\">\n<div class=\"inw-note-label\">ON THE EVENING OF THE FESTIVAL<\/div>\n<p>Alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of more than 5 percent and glass or metal bottles are subject to restrictions during the festivities.
