THE IT ALIAN RIVIER A A T A GLANCE  107

The town of Portofino (see
pp114–15) is packed with tall,
narrow, pastel-coloured
houses gathered around a
small harbour. This is one of
the most appealing sites in
the entire region, on one of
Italy’s most famous stretches
of coastline.

Luni (see p131),
close to the border
with Tuscany,
is an important
archaeological site
with a large Roman
Torriglia amphitheatre. It is
also the source of
these prehistoric
statue-stelae.
