Travel Notes: La Spezia, Cinque Terre and Surroundings (3)


La Spezia, Cinque Terre, Val di Magra and Val di Vara and the nearby Northern Tuscany are incredible lands to discover: take a few days to live it with us! Arbaspàa Tour Operator, post by post, continues to advise you about how to visit, to show you the curiosity of these wonderful lands and, as if you were a special friend, to tell you how to enjoy yourself and how to relax. Here are news tips for you: are you ready to take note?

7) A walk between the treasures of La Spezia's Art Nouveau. In the period before the Second World War, which, due to the destructive bombings on the city, has irreparably changed its face, La Spezia appeared as an Art Nouveau treasure chest. There were so many urban constructions and furnishings of this artistic movement: decorations, statues, friezes and architectural elements characterized the center and the nearby areas, reaching the seaside resorts of the East. Fortunately, however, many examples of that art inspired by beauty and nature have come to our day, like the historical Palazzo Maggiani, between Viale Ferrari and Corso Cavour, the fascinating Palazzo del Ghiaccio (Ice Building) in Via Colombo and the iron street lamp beaten insect form in Piazza Verdi. Take with you camera and... spirit of observation, go looking for these treasures, and have a break for refresh yourself in one of many café, where you can have... a sweet parenthesis or an aperitif.Stabilimento balneare spezia
