The texts and illustrations in this volume bring together the image and flavour of the Italian Riviera and, along with Genova la Bella, is a lovely homage to the Liguria region.
“Hemmed in by sea and mountains, when it was ‘discovered’ by foreigners, Liguria became an image, a personality, a landscape…
In this ‘invention’ of the Riviera, renowned writers and anonymous travellers – with famous works and chance tales interwoven with the views – ‘built’ a truly one-of-a-kind coastal panorama.”
