The Società Savonese di Storia Patria (SSSP) is a non-profit historical society founded in 1885. Its registered location is in Savona: its statutory interests are directed towards historical Liguria, and so they cover an area wider than the current homonym Italian region.
History[edit]
The Società Savonese di Storia Patria was founded on 27 December 1885 with the name of Società storica savonese by a group of intellectuals at the request of Paolo Boselli, the future Prime Minister. In 1916 it assumed its present name.
Social activities and library[edit]
The social activity is coordinated by a board of council members and it is mainly expressed in the publication of an annual volume of Atti e memorie and other publishing activities (magazine Sabazia, editorial series Zetesis and Novecento). The non-publishing activities are very intense and they include historical conferences, also organized with other institutions, and interventions more closely linked to the cultural life. The Society owns a specialized library of more than 50,000 titles.
Historical Toponymy Project[edit]
The main ongoing research of the society is represented by the Progetto Toponomastica Storica (Historical Toponymy Project) that collects and studies historical place names; the project began in 2011 and up to now has published over 50,000 pre–19th century toponyms, related to Liguria and Piedmont.
