round with many events. It is a modern and romantic city
and offers possibilities of holiday, amusements and sport.
Alassio,
which has just celebrated ist 1000th anniversary, has its origin
in the legend of Adelasia (daughter of Emperor Otto I) who,
together with Aleramo, found refuge in the territory of modern
Alassio. Alassio is the “Muretto”: the idea of the”Muretto”
was conceived in the 50s. The “Muretto” has become an important
walk for the beauty contest Miss Muretto and for St. Valentine’s
day. The local cuisine offers fragrances and tastes from the
Ligurian sea as well as from its hills. A typically Mediterranean
cuisine is tied to what is offered by nature: olives, herbs,
pine kernels, fish, vegetables. The Ligurian wines are renowned
and appreciated all over Europe.
