Alassio wall, Installation art on Corso Dante Alighieri, Alassio, Italy
The Alassio wall is an installation of ceramic tiles, bronze and stone in central Alassio, Italy. It runs along Corso Dante Alighieri for a length of fifty meters and displays dozens of painted ceramic panels featuring signatures and messages from famous personalities.
Painter Mario Berrino and writer Ernest Hemingway placed the first signed ceramic tiles on the stone wall in front of Café Roma in 1953. Over the following decades, more panels were added, documenting the town's connections to artists and intellectuals.
The ceramic tiles show signatures from writers, film directors and musicians across several decades. Visitors can spot autographs from figures such as Dario Fo and Vittorio De Sica, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Riviera.
The installation sits directly opposite Café Roma on Corso Dante Alighieri and is easy to find from the Charlie Chaplin playground. Visitors can examine the bronze sculptures and ceramic works at their own pace, as access to the wall is freely available at any time.
A bronze sculpture titled 'The Lovers' by Eros Pellini is set into the wall. In addition, some ceramic tiles narrate the legend of Adelasia and Aleramo, two figures whose names are linked to the founding of the town.
