The Italian Riviera at a Glance

Liguria may be one of the smallest regions in Italy but it
still has plenty to offer. As well as dramatic landscapes, both
along the coast and in the mountains behind, the region
has a rich cultural history. Genoa, the Ligurian capital, lies
midway along the coast. To the east of the city lies the
Riviera di Levante (which includes La Spezia, a provincial
capital), bordering the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-
Romagna. To the west is the Riviera di Ponente, which
meets the border with France, and has two more provincial
capitals, Savona and Imperia. Liguria’s long, rocky coast
is often superbly picturesque, particularly in the Cinque Albenga (see pp152–5) shelters
within its historic centre some of
Terre and at the headland of Portofino, both on the Riviera the oldest and most significant
di Levante. Punctuating the shores are seaside resorts monuments in the region, such
which are buzzing with life in summer, as well as towns as the cathedral of San Michele
of historic interest such as Albenga and Bordighera. The (above) and the Early

often forested and mountainous hinterland (the so-called
entroterra) is also home to some fascinating medieval
towns, such as Pieve di Teco, Pigna and Dolceacqua.

The town of Portofino (see
pp114–15) is packed with tall,
narrow, pastel-coloured
houses gathered around a
small harbour. This is one of
the most appealing sites in
the entire region, on one of
Italy’s most famous stretches
of coastline.

LEVANTE


When considering this part of the world, thoughts
turn, inevitably to the great poets who have lauded it,
including the romantic poets Percy Bysshe Shelley
and Lord Byron – there is even a gulf named in their
honour. These poets and other writers have celebrated the enchantment of the
Riviera di Levante, the gentleness of the climate, the colour of the flowers and
the beauty of the coves.

Exploring the Riviera di Levante

This slim tongue of land starts just south of Genoa and runs as far as the easterly
region of Lunigiana. Dotted along the coast are famous beaches and pretty
resorts, from Camogli, Rapallo and Portofino in the west to Portovenere in the
east. The mountains and valleys inland are less visited, but they shelter attractive
towns of both historical and architectural interest, such as Varese Ligure and
Sarzana, and the archaeological ruins at Luni – walks through chestnut woods
reveal the contrast with the exuberant Mediterranean flora of the coast.
Important monuments in the region include the forts of Sarzana, the churches
of San Salvatore dei Fieschi and Sant’Andrea di Borzone and the abbey of
San Fruttuoso – examples of the magnificent
Romanesque and Gothic architecture which
developed in the 3rd and 4th centuries
in the region. Piacenza

Exploring Cinque Terre

The Cinque Terre is perhaps Italy’s most idyllic cluster of coastal
villages and certainly its most unique. A chain of five villages
perched precariously on rocky promontaries, they are famous
for their extraordinary beauty and natural isolation. Residents of
the Cinque Terre villages have adapted to their challenging
natural surroundings, building houses that start at the sea and
climb the cliffs towards the sky, and cultivating the hills with
extensive vineyards and olive groves. Virtually inaccessible by
car, visitors flock to the villages on ferries and trains during the
summer months to witness Italy at its picturesque best. Each
village has something different to offer, from stunning beaches The stunning village of Vernazza, the jewel
to challenging hikes, buzzing cocktail bars or quiet seclusion. in Cinque Terre’s crown
