Beautiful Camogli - Visit the 3D website

Camogli3D is an advanced virtual project that completely reproduces an entire town. The shape of this unique and pretty city east of Genoa (north Italy, 200 km far from Milano), the incredible chromatic colour combinations of historical buildings, and the natural frame of hills full of olive trees have been recreated for those that would like to discover this italian treasure with this unique website. Enjoy!

Cinque Terrre

This cluster of romantic villages will intoxicate you with its grandeur.
If you miss the five villages that make up the Cinque Terre (literally 'five lands'), you will have bypassed some of Italy's most extraordinary countryside. (It is a Unesco World Heritage site and on the World Monument Fund list.) But blink as the train zips between tunnels and miss them you will.
Mountains covered by terraced vineyards and countless dry stone walls drop precipitously into the sea. Wine growers use monorail mechanisms to get themselves up and the grapes down, while olive groves embrace lower slopes. Tourism long ago overtook fishing and viniculture as the main local industry.

Experience Genova & the Italian Riviera

The region of Liguria (known to pleasure-seekers as the Italian Riviera) has northern Italy's most attractive stretch of coastline. Though there are some good beaches, the main appeal is the beauty of the seaside cliffs and coves, and of the small towns interspersed among them. The most celebrated is tiny but glamorous Portofino, though these days it gets competition from the even tinier villages of the Cinque Terre, famous for the hiking paths that run between them. Smack in the middle of the coast is Genoa, Italy's busiest port. It holds the region's main cultural attractions, intermixed with some port-city grit.
