Recco, Coastal commune in Metropolitan City of Genoa, Italy
Recco sits along the Ligurian Sea coast at 5 meters above sea level, with green hills surrounding its residential and commercial districts.
The town experienced severe destruction during World War II when Allied bombing in 1943 destroyed 90 percent of its buildings and infrastructure.
The annual Sagra della Focaccia festival in September brings together locals and visitors to celebrate the traditional cheese-filled flatbread of the region.
Regular train and bus services connect Recco to major Ligurian cities, with the railway station providing direct access to Genoa and the Cinque Terre.
The local water polo team, Pro Recco, has secured 34 championships in the Italian Serie A1, establishing the town as a center for water sports excellence.
