Lerici and his poetry

Lerici - Lerici, a pearl of rare beauty welcomed in the bosom of the eastern Ligurian Riviera, in that strip of land that takes the name of 'gulf of poets', disputed between sea and mountains, between myth and legend, between literature and history. Its beauty has inspired the verses of numerous poets and perhaps it is no coincidence that the well-known poet Shelley spent a long period of his life here, spending the last few years delighted by its therapeutic beauty.

What magically attracts visitors is its strong union with the sea and the geographical position it enjoys which gives it a mild and enjoyable climate in every season of the year. Waiting for us at the entrance is its castle of ancient memory and erection, only recently restored to its former glory and which today houses a geopaleontological museum. It seems, in fact, that centuries of history have passed through these parts, leaving traces everywhere, as if to prey on its undeniable beauty. Lerici has a strong seafaring tradition and its port has always represented an important center of economic and tourist interest as if to seal this undeniable union with the sea. The village of San Terenzo also belongs to the territory of Lerici, a land once prey to the Turks, where you can breathe and feel the strong maritime imprint through a food and wine tradition rich in products and recipes from every corner of the Mediterranean. Lerici loves the sea and those who love the sea cannot fail to visit it, making this opportunity to meet the deep blue unique.
