Bus Line 841 and Route Sequence

The following route sequence is listed for AMT bus line 841: Moneglia – S. Saturnino – Pian di Capre – Comeglio – Littorno – Moneglia. Comeglio comes after Pian di Capre and before Littorno in the listed sequence, which ends back in Moneglia. If you’re considering this line for your arrival or to get around, check the current timetable before travelling.

Local History and Sant’Anna

Comeglio was first mentioned as a “villa” in 14th-century records of the Podestà of Moneglia. The Sant’Anna chapel is considered a 17th-century building and is characterised by two structural sections. A report from 1888 described it as being in good condition. The chronology therefore places the first mention in the 14th century, the building’s classification in the 17th century, and the report on its condition in 1888 alongside one another.

Patron Saint’s Festival and Dated Programmes

The Festa patronale di Sant’Anna is an annual village festival in Comeglio, and its specific programme varies from year to year. Asado, to be cooked over charcoal, was planned for the Sant’Anna celebration on 26 July 2026; market stalls and a charity raffle were also announced. These programme items relate to this specific date.

A Christmas market, nativity scene exhibitions in the church and in the caruggi, and street food were planned for the “Aspettando il Natale” event announced for 7 December 2025. The 2011 Christmas programme also included a guided visit to Sant’Anna church, followed by a tasting of traditional local products. If you’re travelling for a specific programme item, check the date and programme for the relevant year.

Route from Moneglia to Monte Incisa

The route from Moneglia to Monte Incisa passes through the hamlet of Comeglio and then continues to Littorno. On the return journey, it follows a stream back to Moneglia and on to the sea. This describes both the route through Comeglio and a specific landscape feature of the return journey.

The bus line and hiking route provide different points of reference: the bus information lists a sequence of several places and returns to Moneglia, while the hiking route describes the journey to Monte Incisa through Comeglio and onward to Littorno. Check the current timetable for a bus journey and check trail conditions before setting out on a hike.
