Little shops, “scagni” (studios), workshops: you never know where handcrafts can turn into actual Art. Follow these tours to appreciate the variety of Ligurian ingenuity in all its forms. From the Briar pipe of Badalucco to the slate craftwork; from wrought iron to master glass making in Altare. Beyond the Riviera, where superb artisans operate, where ancient crafts like filigree work, and damask production reign.

For example, do you know what Risseau is? It’s a patterned mosaic using river stones and pebbles. Another way of water meeting land.
