History
The village was an old possession of Estensi whose roots lie in the Langobardic dynasty, in the fiefdom of Vezzano Ligure. Between the 11th and the 13th century there was a hard struggle for the control of Beverino by the Malaspina family and the Anglican diocese of Luni. With the appointment of Napoleon as ruler of France in 1797, the municipality came under the jurisdiction of the Gulf of Venere. In 1815 it fell to the kingdom of Sardinia and in 1861 as part of the Kingdom of Italy, Beverino was first under the jurisdiction of the province of Genoa and since 1923 it has been part of the province La Spezia.
