The Creator of the tourist port is the engineer Carlo Riva.
Following the example of Pierre Canto, Creator of the port of Cannes, in 1971, Carlo Riva became interested in the idea of transportation of the pearls of the French Riviera on the coast of the Gulf of Tigullio. An ambitious project worthy of the best Italian nautical tradition, was born thanks to the tenacity, experience and, above all, passion and desire to bring the case to the end.
The dream became a reality and, on July 26, 1975, the new Marina and boats have been successfully opened.
