the second day of travel, and already in Italy before arriving at what will be our base of operations (Rapallo), we stop in Seborga, a tiny village perched on a mountain that, despite its small size, has had great importance in the territorial struggles between the popes, emperors, and the house of Savoy.
all of this past is but a small Romanesque chapel, the palace was an important abbey, the wonder of narrow streets that cross under arches dedaleschi improbable and, miracle of colors, a Baroque church facade by the artistically painted.
Dolceacqua find out around noon, another medieval village. This, however, much larger and dominated by a great castle of the XV, the older tower which dates back to XII. Login to the village by a well-preserved Roman bridge.
Inside the village are narrow lanes, where the buildings go hand in hand to stand up after many centuries of silent resistance, alleys, without their steps, would be practically inaccessible.
And it was here in Dolceacqua, who started the gourmet part of our journey. I will not extend into the description of the meals, because I consider that There is food to be eaten and enjoyed, not to talk about it, so I'll just say that the whole experience was great, and that the combination of pasta, seafood and wines (and grappa) in Liguria is enough to wish to return.
