Subjects : Lying on the slopes that slope down to the sea between Bonassola and Deiva Marina, Framura is a scattered municipality, consisting of the aggregation of five settlements: Castagnola, Costa, Setta, Ravecca and Anzo. To these is added the small port on the sea, protected by the Ciamia rock, the largest in Liguria, with the statue of the Madonnina with the baby Jesus on top. Framura is almost a compendium of Liguria, an embrace between the mountains and the sea, with colorful houses, fortified villages, olive trees, heroic agriculture and the charm of the waves. Among the five villages, particularly interesting from a photographic point of view are Costa, Setta and Anzo. Costa is characterized by its tower (IX century), transformed into the bell tower of the nearby church of San Martino, with a splendid view of the sea and the villages below and from which to enjoy fiery sunsets. Setta is interesting from an architectural point of view, with traces of medieval masonry, stone arches and mullioned windows. Finally, the houses of Anzo constitute a fortified village in typical Ligurian style, very picturesque, equipped with a tower and defensive walls; all enriched by beautiful nineteenth-century villas. Even the small marina offers various and very interesting photographic ideas, as well as the fantastic "Via del mare", a panoramic walk suspended overlooking the cliff.

Recommended equipment : The wide angle for landscapes and architectural photos, to which to add a tele zoom and a macro for details and flowers. Considering the beauty of the seabed and the richness of marine life, especially near the Ciamia rock, even a simple equipment for underwater photography (even just a compact) can give satisfaction.

Best months : Every period of the year has interesting ideas: in addition to summer, spring and autumn offer the opportunity to enjoy the intertwining of the architecture and the colors of nature, as well as winter fascinates with its storms that are among the most beautiful in Liguria (attention, do not underestimate the risks deriving from the power of the waves, here particularly strong).

How to get there : By car, Genova Livorno motorway, deiva Marina exit, follow the signs for Framura (the marina is about twenty minutes from the motorway exit). As for the whole of Liguria, it is recommended to arrive by train: framura station is located next to the marina.

Visits : Access, parking and stay are absolutely free. There is a paid parking (you pay only in the summer months) between the station and the marina.

Notes : Near the station you can rent bicycles with which to take the cycle path that, taking advantage of the old railway tunnels now recovered, connects Framura to the nearby municipalities of Bonassola and Levanto (the total length is about 5 km). This track is also passable on foot and being set among beautiful coves is absolutely not to be missed.
