FELICE ROMANI: Moneglia, land of music and poetry. Two centuries after Luca Cambiaso, another son of Moneglia rose to international fame. Felice Romani was born in Genoa in 1788 but he adopted Moneglia as his native town. He was one of the most noted opera lyric writers of the 19th century. He worked with Rossini, Bellini, Verdi and Donizetti. One of his famous works, Norma, was brought to life right here in Moneglia. Every year the Felice Romani Musical Society organizes a full season of concerts in the Oratory of the Flagellants (l'Oratorio dei Disciplinanti).

WHERE THE BLUE FLAG FLIES: Blue is the colour of the sea and blue is the colour of the flag awarded by the European Union to Moneglia, which has continued to win it back year after year far the high quality of environmental care and far the high standards of its tourist infrastructure. In order to be awarded the European standard not only must the sea be clean, but the some care must be also devoted to the beaches, services and the natural and urban environment as a whole. Moneglia has had all of this long before the introduction of the European Blue Flag.

FREE TIME: A network of paths runs through the Moneglia, which go from the centre out towards the hillsides along the coast or internally towards the mountains. The rocky outcrops of Punta Moneglia and Punta Baffe can be reached by following the paths up through the greenery of the vegetation that reflects in the blue of the sea. The mountains of Moneglia and Mezzema crown the bay, and you can reach them by walking or pedaling immersed in the greenery and fresh air, which restores your strength after the daily or nocturnal fatigues of a seaside holiday.
