A famous tourist resort in the province of Imperia, today my story is dedicated to
Sanremo. Because I like nature and Sanremo is rich in natural beauty. A
fixed appointment every year with one of the most anticipated events among the city events: Sanremoinfiore. The story tells that this event originated in January 1904 with the feast of the “Goddess Flora” during which there was a parade of carriages adorned with flowers, real floral creations along the streets of the city.
After the war, this event took the name of Italy in Flowers, becoming, until 1966, one of the most important annual events for the city. After a period of interruption, the event resumed in 1980 and today the Corso Fiorito is followed by about 60,000 spectators who go specifically to Sanremo and is admired by millions of viewers who follow the show on live television.
Not to be missed is the medieval historic center, called “La Pigna”, with its carrugi and stairways that lead to the top dominated Sanctuary of the Madonna della Costa, from which you can enjoy an amazing view of the city. An enchantment is to discover the 19th century Sanremo, visiting the beautiful Villa Nobel, where the famous Swedish scientist lived, and the botanical gardens of Villa Ormond.
