La storia
Che cosa stai guardando
Portofino is a historic harbour settlement on the Ligurian promontory that bears its name. The municipal historical account associates it with the ancient Portus Delphini, while leaving its earlier origin uncertain. Its medieval history includes links to San Fruttuoso Abbey, Rapallo and Genoa, and the Republic of Genoa modernised its defences in 1554. The settlement belongs to a wider protected landscape: formal protection of the promontory began in the 1930s, and the marine protected area surrounds the shared coast of Camogli, Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure.
