Moneglia
Moneglia stretches along a small bay on the Ligurian Sea in Liguria, a setting that has concentrated the town between the shore and steep, wooded hills. It forms part of the Riviera di Levante, the eastern stretch of the Italian Riviera, where rail and road routes thread through a rugged coast of headlands and coves. The waterfront combines a beach, marina and breakwaters with a compact centre of ochre and pastel facades. Above it, the older settlement climbs the slope toward the Church of Santa Croce, whose present form dates largely from the 18th century. Moneglia’s seafront has long supported fishing and local coastal trade, and it remains a working seaside town as well as a holiday destination.

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.
