In Liguria, on the border with the territory of the "cinque terre", set between sky and sea, overlooks Levanto. Around, there are some medieval villages, such as Montale, but also the quarries of red marble, a precious material already used by the Romans. Giancarlo BETTINOTTI and the oenologist LAURA CUGINI work in an agricultural cooperative, attentive to wine quality and respect for biodiversity. On the coast that embraces the Gulf, however, he moves with his boat MARCO SCARAMUCCIA, a dreamy skipper. Cycling through the caruggi, you can admire the buildings of Via Garibaldi transformed into stately palaces in the fifteenth century: they gave a new architectural face that was called "Borgo Nuovo" and that arose next to the medieval part of the country. In Levanto, LIVES AND WORKS RENZO BIGHETTI, an artist who has always been committed to environmental issues. Levanto is also a popular destination for surfers and, among the fans of this sport, there is GABO RASO. At the crossroads of the streets, the traditions of the past are found in the Pesto Laboratory managed by MONIA ROMANO. Thanks to the recovery of a railway track, a cycle and pedestrian path has been designed that allows you to explore magnificent panoramic routes along the coast. Walking in the center, LORENZO PERRONE, chef and lover of local history, remembers the past of the village and that of the Canal port, where goods passed through Emilia. Finally. at the Oratory of San Giacomo, the GROUP "ILLUSTRI CUGINI" performs, a band that pays homage to Fabrizio De André.
