Taggia: Faudo Mountain - Lecchiore - Bellissimi - Dolcedo
Bellissimi sits in the upper Prino Valley in Liguria, Italy, where olive terraces rise toward Monte Faudo. It is one of the small settlements of Dolcedo, an inland comune behind Imperia whose scattered hamlets follow the folds of the Ligurian hills. Lecchiore lies farther up the valley, while Bellissimi is surrounded by cultivated slopes, woodland and traditional rural houses. Olive growing has long defined this part of western Liguria; the Taggiasca olive is closely associated with the region’s food culture and local oil production. Narrow lanes link farms and villages across a quieter inland setting just beyond the Riviera coast.

The town is closely associated with the Taggiasca olive, a local cultivar used for olive oil and in Ligurian cooking. Its old quarter preserves narrow lanes, vaulted passages and the Dominican convent of San Domenico, founded in the 15th century. Arma di Taggia adds a coastal dimension to this settlement between river valley and shore. Discover more places through webcams across Taggia and Liguria.

Liguria is best known within Italy for the Cinque Terre, five historic coastal villages set above the Ligurian Sea. This narrow north-western region runs between the sea and the Ligurian Alps and Apennines, giving it a densely settled coastline, steep terraces and compact inland valleys. Genoa, its capital, developed as one of the Mediterranean’s great maritime powers; its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The region is also closely associated with pesto alla Genovese, traditionally made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, cheese and olive oil.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
