Tigullio The Gulf Of The Poets, Italy

The Poets' Gulf is snuggled between two promontories between which lies the city of La Spezia. All around an amphitheatre of hills and mountains forms a scenic backdrop. The high, jagged coastline hugs peaceful bays in protection against the wind, where enchanting little ancient towns take their stand: Portovenere and Lerici.

The beauty of these places has been celebrated by poets, writers and artists, who have long been attracted to this coast and the savage sweetness of its landscape and climate.
