Italian Riviera 4K - Yachts & Seaside Resorts - Scenic Drive

Afternoon drive along the Italian Riviera, from the major seaport city of Genoa (Genova) to the picturesque harbour of Portofino. Parking for YOUR Superyatch at Portofino is only $75,000 per month! ;) Yachts, cliffs, beaches, colorfully painted resorts, amazing Italian culture, along the Italian coastline. I love Italian cities (I want to get an electric car or a motorcycle so I can ride in the ZTL) but the coastline is another level! Lots of American popular culture over the past 30 years focused Italy. And the Italian coastline is a great representation of what makes Italy so great! Hopefully this video helps until you get to visit in person!

The Italian Riviera. As a tourist centre, the Italian Riviera benefits from over 300 days of sunshine per year, and is known for its beaches, colourfully painted towns, natural environment, food, and luxury villas and hotels, as well as for its popular resort facilities, major yachting and cruising areas with several marinas, festivals, golf courses, sailing, rock climbing and scenic views of centuries old farmhouses and cottages.
The Italian Riviera, or Ligurian Riviera, is the narrow coastal strip in Italy which lies between the Ligurian Sea and the mountain chain formed by the Maritime Alps and the Apennines. Longitudinally it extends from the border with France and the French Riviera (or Côte d'Azur) near Ventimiglia (a former customs post) eastwards to Capo Corvo (also known as Punta Bianca) which marks the eastern end of the Gulf of La Spezia and is close to the regional border between Liguria and Tuscany.
The mild climate draws an active tourist trade in the numerous coastal resorts, which include Alassio, Bonassola, Bordighera, Camogli, Cinque Terre, Lerici, Levanto, Noli, Portofino, Porto Venere, Santa Margherita Ligure, Sanremo, San Fruttuoso, and Sestri Levante. It is also known for its historical association with international celebrity and artistic visitors; writers and poets like Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, Ezra Pound, and Ernest Hemingway were inspired by the beauty and spirit of the region.
Industries are concentrated in and around Genoa, Savona, and along the shores of the Gulf of La Spezia. Genoa and La Spezia are Italy’s leading shipyards; La Spezia is Italy’s major naval base, and Savona is a major centre of the Italian iron industry. Chemical, textile, and food industries are also important.
A number of streets and palaces in the center of Genoa and the Cinque Terre National Park (which includes Cinque Terre, Portovenere, and the islands Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto) are two of Italy's 55 World Heritage Sites.

Genoa is the capital of the Italian region of Liguria and the sixth-largest city in Italy. Genoa has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean: it is currently the busiest in Italy and in the Mediterranean Sea and twelfth-busiest in the European Union.
Genoa was the capital of one of the most powerful maritime republics for over seven centuries, from the 11th century to 1797. Particularly from the 12th century to the 15th century, the city played a leading role in the commercial trade in Europe, becoming one of the largest naval powers of the continent and considered among the wealthiest cities in the world.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genoa
Portofino (Portofin) is an Italian fishing village and holiday resort famous for its picturesque harbour and historical association with celebrity and artistic visitors. It is a comune located in the Metropolitan City of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. The town is clustered around its small harbour, and is known for the colourfully painted buildings that line the shore.
In Popular Culture:
- In 1959 Dalida released song "Love in Portofino", written by Leo Chiosso and composed by Fred Buscaglione. With lyrics in French and Italian language, it became a hit and was later iconised alongside the village's name. It also spawned several international covers, including Andrea Bocelli's in 2013 which was followed by a concert recorded and issued on DVD.
- Portofino is the eponym of Frank Schaeffer's Portofino: A Novel (1992). It was the first of Schaeffer's Calvin Becker Trilogy.
- There is a full-scale replica, in authentic detail, of Portofino Bay at Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, USA, which opened in September 1999.
- Portofino inspired in 2001 a recreation of the seaside town in the Mediterranean Harbor area at Tokyo Disney Sea in Chiba, Japan. It also served as the namesake for the restaurant Cafe Portofino.
- Portofino was featured in 2008 in the television series Top Gear (Episode 5, Series 12). Richard Hammond, in a Ferrari Daytona raced James May in a carbon fibre powerboat from Portofino to St Tropez in France.
- Ferrari named one of their new V8 sports cars after Portofino in 2017.

Liguria is simply stunning. I've not yet been to Italy, but that's the first region I'd like to visit when I go. 🇮🇹

[@riccardoulivi3041]

as an Italian, Liguria is beautiful but the sea is not the best. Of course it depends on what you want to see, but Sardinia is on another level (unfortunately I think it costs more to go there)

[@albertoartuso80]

La Liguria ha bellezze artistiche ed ambientali incomparabili rispetto alla Sardegna, che di bello ha solo il mare (e neanche dappertutto). La Liguria è la regione come ambiente più bella d'Italia (e non sono ligure) e un mare comunque stupendo, non da meno della Sardegna. Solo quest'ultima ha più spiagge, e grazie tante è la seconda isola del Mediterraneo con 2000 km di coste...

[@miguelon_63]

I live in Genoa and I thank you for sharing the beauty of our region. If anyone would like to ask for information about the city I would be happy to answer :) For our american friends: Columbus was born here in Genoa in 1451, there is a little of our city in the discovery of Americas.

Italy may not have the highest per capita income in Europe, but it certainly has one of the highest per capita gorgeousness on the planet.

[@attenzioneallontanarsidall7940]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Italy The economy of Italy is the third-largest national economy in the European Union, the eighth-largest by nominal GDP in the world, and the 13th-largest by GDP (PPP). Italy is a founding member of the European Union, the Eurozone, the OECD, the G7 and the G20;[22] it is the tenth-largest exporter in the world, with $632 billion exported in 2019. Its closest trade ties are with the other countries of the European Union, with whom it conducts about 59% of its total trade. The largest trading partners, in order of market share in exports, are Germany (12.5%), France (10.3%), the United States (9%), Spain (5.2%), the United Kingdom (5.2%) and Switzerland (4.6%).[23] In the post-World War II period, Italy saw a transformation from an agricultural based economy which had been severely affected by the consequences of the World Wars, into one of the world's most advanced nations,[24] and a leading country in world trade and exports. According to the Human Development Index, the country enjoys a very high standard of living, and has the world's 8th highest quality of life according to The Economist.[25] Italy owns the world's third-largest gold reserve,[26] and is the third-largest net contributor to the budget of the European Union. Furthermore, the advanced country private wealth is one of the largest in the world.[27] Italy is a large manufacturer (overall the second in EU behind Germany)[28] and exporter[29] of a significant variety of products including machinery, vehicles, pharmaceuticals, furniture, food, clothing, and robots.[30] Italy has therefore a significant trade surplus. The country is also well known for its influential and innovative business economic sector, an industrious and competitive agricultural sector (Italy is the world's largest wine producer),[31] and manufacturers of creatively designed, high-quality products including automobiles, ships, home appliances, and designer clothing. Italy is the largest hub for luxury goods in Europe and the third luxury hub globally.[32][33] Despite these important achievements, the country's economy today suffers from structural and non-structural problems. Annual growth rates have often been below the EU average with Italy being hit particularly hard by the late-2000s recession. Massive government spending from the 1980s onwards has produced a severe rise in public debt. In addition, Italian living standards have a considerable North-South divide: the average GDP per capita in Northern italy significantly exceeds the EU average, while some regions and provinces in Southern Italy are significantly below, while In Central Italy they are instead average.
