The colored houses of Liguria.
If I didn't tell you where I took this photo, you probably wouldn't be able to tell me the village that hosts these facades.
In fact, throughout Liguria, especially in the villages overlooking the sea, the soft but different colors from house to house are one of the salient features of aesthetics.
It is said that they were colored this way to distinguish them from the owners, often sailors and fishermen, even from the open sea. Who knows if it's true or a legend.
I almost forgot: I took the photo in Riva Trigoso, exactly in via Benedetto Brin, on the western seafront.

I took a lot of photos in the town of Sestri Levante and you can find almost all of them here or by searching in the various article specific to the Ligurian city.
I refer you to the very well-kept and always updated website for the tourist promotion of my Sestri Levante: sestri-levante.net. This is the official website of the town's municipality: comune.sestri-levante.ge.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
If you want to read or buy some guide or book about Sestri Levante and Tigullio I invite you to see these books: Escursioni a Levante, Da Sestri Levante alle Cinque Terre or Il giro del Levante ligure.
