Valloria, the Ligurian Village with Painted Doors

By: Silvia Donati

Valloria, near Imperia in western Liguria, has become known as ‘the village with painted doors’. Its center features more than 150 hand-decorated doors, each by a different artist. 

Perched on a hill and surrounded by olive trees, in a peaceful location, Valloria is named after Vallis Aurea, or the golden valley, so called because of the harvesting of olives and production of the prized Ligurian olive oil. It is part of ‘Italy’s most beautiful villages’ network.
