The maritime republic of Noli
An ancient borgo, surrounded by walls and watched over by high towers, proud of the independence which started during the first crusade and maintained for the following 700 years. Porticoes, centuries-old-lanes and a beach where local fishermen gather every morning to sell last night's catch, fresh from the sea.

Varigotti, Saracen borgo
Low-built painted houses which line the beach among gardens and lemon trees: here the architecture is southern Mediterranean in style, evoking the eternal geographical and cultural ties which unite the two shores of Mare Nostrum.

Theatre in the "Piazza di Verezzi"
A unique stage setting for international performances in Liguria: the wings of Verezzi's Piazza are made of stone and brick, and the actors perform before the twinkling lights of the Riviera for a knowledgeable audience of theatre goers.

The caves of Toirano
When life began in Liguria, prehistoric communities lived cheek-by-jowl with wild bears in the caves of the Val Varatela. Who knows if they had the time or the inclination to admire the wonderful stalactites and stalagmites sculpted by water and limestone in what are surely the most stunning caves anywhere in Italy?
