Artistic handicrafts
The wide variety of local handcrafted products are of such high quality that over time they have begun to be sold in other areas.
Local craftsmen have always been very good at working with the raw materials available locally or which were brought by the many ships that traded the area’s maritime routes.
Many types of important handiworks are still carried out according to typical methods, such as the Velvet in Zoagli, the Slate in the Fontanabuona Valley, the Chairs in Chiavari, the Lace in Rapallo and Santa Margherita Ligure.
