The Villa Musuem houses today the works of great Ligurian artists of the VI and VII century and a permanent exhibition of selected pieces of the Terruzzi collection. In the city of the palms you can make a trip backward through the paintings of Monet along the luxurious Via Romana, the historic center and Villa Pompeo Mariani – the artist who lived between the nineteenth and twentieth century, is considered as one of the greatest artists of seascapes.
To then continue for Dolceaqua, village that has received the orange banner, standing out as one of the most villages in Italy, where the great master of Impressionism, immortalized the medieval bridge, defining it as a jewl of lightness, and the ruins of the castle. Monet was enchanted by this corner of Western Liguria and he reproduced its crystal clear brightness in many of his paintings.
