The village of Marinasco jealously guards a historical jewel in the form of the church of Santo Stefano. The village is first mentioned in a document written by the Emperor Arrigo IV in 1077, who describes it as the property of Folco and Ugo Este.
The church, however, is first mentioned in 950 and is the mould in which most of the churches of Spezia were built, with the exception of the church of San Venerio. Although it has been restored many times, the most important changes were made in the 18th century.
