In the upper Argentina Valley, about an hour from Sanremo, Triora is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy: stone houses huddled close together, archways, covered alleyways and the remains of ancient fortifications, standing at nearly 800 meters amid the Ligurian Alps. It is known as the village of witches, after the sixteenth-century trials that turned it into a legend, now told through its ethnographic museum.
A vow among the stones
The small squares and church courtyards of the village become the setting for the ceremony, while the narrow lanes and terraces overlooking the valley serve as the backdrop for photographs. The celebration continues under the stars, in the silence of the mountains, with a long table set among the stone houses.
Good to know
Triora is a mountain village: even in summer the evenings are cool, and the road climbing up from the coast calls for careful planning of transfers. We take care of the permits with the Municipality, the shuttles and the accommodations for guests, between the village and the coast.
