Liguria guide: travel tips and information



Visit the Cinque Terre along the Via dell'amore
Five worlds, five lands, five small jewels clinging to the mountain that overlooks the sea; five wonders of colorful houses one on top of the other, whose landscape required more than a thousand years of formation. As, Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza e Monterosso today they sign one of the most fascinating natural parks in Italy, nestled on a strip of land west of La Spezia, in Liguria, among unique lights, colours, atmospheres and flavours.




Palazzo Rosso in Genoa
In addition to Palazzo Rosso, in 1874 the Duchess of Galliera donated the splendid picture gallery to the Municipality of Genoa which, together with the furnishings, formed the historical nucleus of the Museum's collections: careful acquisitions and commissions carried out for over two centuries demonstrating the social rise, economic and political of the Brignole Sale family.
