Rank : 7.6 (average on 10 votes)Coordinates : 43.837208, 7.830310 ( Open in Google Maps) Subjects : Bussana (Bussann-a Vegia in Ligurian) is a village in the municipality of Sanremo perched on top of a hill. The violent earthquake of February 23, 1887 partly destroyed the country (until now simply called "Bussana"), which was completely evacuated by the inhabitants, who moved about three kilometers downstream, and founded the town of New Bussana. Totally abandoned for decades, Bussana has started to be inhabited by the end of the fifties of the twentieth century by Italian and foreign artists attracted by the uniqueness of the place (village medieval type without driveways), which renovated and made habitable again less damaged buildings. Currently home to an international community of artists, craft shops and some eateries, so much so that now, over the years, a characteristic "artists' village" in a setting of a medieval village. The crisis of recent years, however, has blocked the activity and now some labs appear closed. E 'can be visited at any time of the year, on foot. The photographic subjects are extremely varied, but the architecture and details have obviously prevail.Recommended equipment : The stand is very uncomfortable tangle of narrow streets uphill, but it can be useful at dusk or in the evening or for other needs. Telephoto lens for special "far away" from the eye. Zoom from 18 to 70 who had supplied at the time of visit gave me the opportunity I was looking for, but a wide angle 10-20 is obviously useful for buildings: There are two churches in ruins which I found very interesting, with their gates wrought iron and the details of the interior bare. The problem of Bussana are the contrasts of light, not always easy to manage. Streets and alleys are the masters along with stairs and steps. The workshops can provide some interesting and colorful.Best months : I believe that the country has a charm and an interest that goes beyond the period or season. I turned to Bussana in July, but with the snow can be extremely interesting. August discouraged, for obvious reasons of tourist crowds annoying for the photographer ... but you can always groped!How to get there : From San Remo to Imperia, take the road signposted for Bussana just come from the town of Sanremo, of course to the left.Visits : Visit free, but big problems of parking (at least in the summer ...). You can leave your car on the road, taking care, perhaps, to turn it on arrival already using the pitch at the beginning of the settlement. probably there is a shuttle from San Remo, but better informedNotes : It 's an experience that I recommend to those who love the past and the rustic, the art and the details of any kind! A flower between the bricks of a wall, a snail nell'anfratto a door .... Sanremo and the beach are within walking distance and the Ligurian hills are beautiful!
