Portofino, Coastal commune in Liguria, Italy
The Mediterranean harbor features a semicircle of tall, painted houses in yellow, pink, and green surrounding a collection of fishing boats and yachts.
The Romans named this location Portus Delphini in reference to the numerous dolphins that inhabited the waters of the Ligurian coast during ancient times.
The Church of San Giorgio, constructed in 1154, contains relics of saints and offers views of the gulf from its position on the promontory.
The village connects to Santa Margherita Ligure by ferry services and buses, with departures every 20 minutes during peak tourist seasons.
The Christ of the Abyss, a submerged bronze statue placed 17 meters below sea level in 1954, marks the spot where Dario Gonzatti died.
