History
Inhabited by humans since Neolithic, as proved by the many artefacts that have been found on the slopes of the hill, in antiquity known as "Monte del Diavolo" (Mountain of the Devil) due to the a thick forest which scared the travellers. Administered directly by the "Capitanato" of Livorno in the 17th century[2], it was a compulsory passage for people travelling from Livorno to the south, Grosseto and Rome, until the realisation, in the end of the 19th century of the coastal road[3]. The village saw a sensible enlargement since the 18th century, mostly due to the enlargement of the Sanctuary. In that time many villas were build in the area, also giving the setting for Carlo Goldoni's comedy . In one of these residences, Villa delle Rose, stayed for some time the English poet George Gordon Byron. On 19th August 1908 was inaugurated a funicular railway, linking the lower part (Montenero Basso) to the higher part (Montenero Alto), which was renovated in 1979 and carries approximately 250,000 passengers per year[4][5][6][7].
