Old Bussana (Bussana Vecchia)
Bussana Vecchia
An ancient rogue artist community hidden next to one of the world's most glitzy and glamorous cities.

šŸ“œ Historic medieval village, largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1887.
šŸ” Rebuilt by a community of rebel artists in the 1960s, now an open-air art colony.

Why Go

šŸŽØ Unique blend of medieval ruins and bohemian art.
🚶 Explore narrow, winding streets filled with studios, galleries, and cafes.
šŸŒ Experience a vibrant international artist community.
šŸžļø Enjoy views of the Ligurian coast and surrounding mountains.

Why Avoid

šŸš— Drive up from Sanremo is narrow, steep, and bumpy.
šŸ’§ Unofficial settlement with improvised water/sewer infrastructure (though modern comforts are emerging).

Tips

🚘 A car is highly recommended for access.
