Bogliasco, Italy
Bogliasco is a quiet town of around 5000 inhabitants and is situated southeast of Genoa on the Western coast of Italy. It has the characteristics of a typical Mediterranean village in the region with a central piazza that has a main church, a scenic walkway above the sea, pastel houses clinging to the inclines, a small port filled with fishing boats, and several rocky beach areas.
Bogliasco's history can be traced back to the Roman Empire as a medieval bridge constructed from Roman ruins still stands over a rivulet that feeds into the port. Once a village inhabited primarily by fishermen, sailors, and sea captains, Bogliasco frequently allied itself with the Republic of Genoa, but always remained independent of it.
