Routes along the Cinque Terre
Please send an outline of the Cinque Terre itinerary. I can not find any on the site. Can you recommend anything? The Consorzio Turistico Cinque Terre has sent us a guide and map of the routes and paths which connect Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. 'A Man Made Landscape Between Sky and Sea' is the line used by the regional authorities to promote the five villages of the Cinque Terre along this stunning Liguria coastline and one of Italy's most sought after tourist destinations. Although referred to collectively, they are in fact the small hamlets of 'Monterosso a Mare',…Last modified on 01 August 2012
Museums of Genoa and Acquarium
Pick up the comprehensive listing of all the museums and libraries in the province of Genova and the first impression is of the incredible number and variety in this corner of Italy. Perhaps its not surprising considering the number of people who have passed through the area. Centuries of commerce seem to have left behind a bewildering array of objects and records. First stop should perhaps be the 'Museo Navale' at Piazza Bonavino, Genova, to leave you with a better appreciation of the maritime tradition of the area. The museum has collected together much of what remains from the medieval…
Sanremo
Sanremo is most famous these days for its Festival of Italian Songs. Once a year at the Ariston theater both new and not so new talent takes the stage to benefit from a huge national television audience. Some of the competition winners become huge stars, such as Domenico Modugno, while others are simply forgotten.
Guide to Portofino
It was perhaps Pliny who wrote the first guide to Portofino. He described this stunning natural area and named it 'Portus Delphini'. This over time was corrupted to Portofino. Today, the sea around the coast of Portofino is a protected marine reserve dating from 1935. Portofino may have the fame and fortune but Santa Margherita Ligure, Camogli and San Fruttuoso are the other villages located on the peninsular. The first was, in fact, two separate hamlets, Santa Margherita and Corte, until 1812.
Riviera delle Palme
The four main coastal towns in the province of Savona are Albissola, Celle Ligure and Varazze as well as Savona itself. This stretch of mountainous land marks the arc of Liguria and the beginning of the Italian peninsular proper and where the Maritime Alps meet the Ligurian Apennines. The provincial capital has always been a rival port to Genova. It even supported Hannibal and the Carthaginians against Rome in 205 BC and was only conquered by the latter in 1528. The Priamar Fortress was immediately built on the 'roccia' to keep an eye on the burghers. Today, it is a…
Carro near the Cinque Terre
The small hamlet of Carro is located in Val Di Vara. Although just 20 minutes from the Cinque Terre, it is a world away from pesto and seaside walks. Portofino is 40km away and Porto Venere 30km. With forgotten pathways crossing uncontaminated woods and forests so close to the beaten track, it may be worth making a visit if you are a nature fan. Indeed, nearby Varese Ligure has obtained the European Certification for Environmental Quality. Carro is where composer Nicolò Paganini’s grandparents lived. Every year the International Festival Paganiniano di Carro takes place in his honor. But Friday August…
La Spezia Province
The city of La Spezia comes under the authority of the APT Cinque Terre e Golfo dei Poeti. The territory is divided into 5 distinct portions; the city, the Gulf of La Spezia, Cinque Terre e Riviera, the Val di Magra and the Val di Vara. La Spezia is home to Italy's largest naval presence. It was little more than a backwater before Cavour transferred the Piemontese fleet during the unification of the country (that's Piemonte without any coast!). The Naval Museum was also transferred, this time from Genova, and is the first point of call for getting under the…
