History
The name Noli, testified in the form Naboli in the oldest documents (between 1004 and 1005), certainly derives from a form of Neapolis which means "new city" in Byzantine Greek (same etymology as for Naples).
The Republic of Noli was an independent republic from 1193 until 1797. In 1239 it became seat of a bishop; later on the diocese was united with that of Savona as the Diocese of Savona-Noli. The Napoleonic invasion in 1797 put an end to Noli's sovereignty.

gollark: I don't see why I would want dead ones.
gollark: Certainly not to the extent that you'd expect piles of dead ones.
gollark: Maybe. Not massively more than the other brands, as far as I can tell.
