The cliff-lined coast of Liguria stretches from the famed

Experience the rich history of the Italian Riviera and its
connection to renowned artists such as Byron, Shelly and
Wagner.
After traversing the hills above the Gulf of La
Spezia to Manarola, savour the views and wines from the
terraced vineyards of a local winery. The flawless white
marble of nearby Carrara served as Michelangelo’s raw
material.
