The mystery of the Roman honorary ship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important findings on the seabed of Spargi is that of a\u00a0Roman honorary ship<\/strong>dating back to the 2nd century BC. Discovered in 1939 by\u00a0Nino Lamboglia<\/strong>one of the pioneers of underwater archaeology, the ship was carrying amphorae used for the wine and oil trade. The finds, now on display at the\u00a0La Maddalena Naval Museum<\/a><\/strong>represent valuable evidence of the centrality of the Bocche di Bonifacio in the trades of antiquity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The military fortifications of Spargi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the Second World War, Spargi was fortified with anti-aircraft emplacements and anti-ship weapons<\/strong>many of which are still visible in the dense vegetation. The main military fortification of Cala Granara<\/strong> was strategically positioned to monitor the Bocche di Bonifacio and prevent enemy attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A curious episode concerns a young shepherd, Natale Berretta, who was unjustly accused of espionage during the conflict but later proved his innocence<\/strong>.
