Recco (Latin: Ricina / Recina) is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Genoa, region of Liguria, Italy. It is known for its focaccia con il formaggio (focaccia with cheese) which is made with stracchino.[3][4] The consortium that dictates the official recipe of the focaccia, supposedly the result of a Saracen attack in the 13th century, has obtained the European Union PGI status for the recipe.

History

Historically, Recco was populated by the Casmoriti, part of the Ligurian family. Later, it was conquered by the Romans who founded this ancient town, and gave the town the name of Recina or Ricina. At one point in time, it served as a Roman castrum (camp) on the Via Aurelia.[5]

During World War II Recco was heavily bombed by the Allies, destroying the railway and severely damaging the town and about 80% of the town's infrastructure. "The town of Recco in Genoa province, a target because of its viaduct, had lost 90 percent of its buildings and 127 inhabitants"[6] It was rebuilt in the late forties and early 1950s.[7]
