Bussana Vecchia is a unique hilltop village near Sanremo, in Liguria, known for its bohemian charm and artistic soul. Abandoned after a devastating earthquake in 1887, the village lay in ruins for decades until the 1960s, when artists from around the world began restoring it by hand. Today, Bussana Vecchia is a vibrant community of painters, sculptors, and creatives living among the ancient stone buildings. Its narrow alleys, artisan workshops, open-air galleries, and stunning views of the Ligurian Sea make it a magical place where history, art, and nature blend in perfect harmony.
