In Valloria, a village behind Imperia, the doors of houses, stables, warehouses and cellars are wonders that enchant, painted and interpreted by internationally renowned painters and young artists who meet in summer in Valloria.
The village, less than an hour’s drive from the Grand Hotel del Mare Resort & Spa, is immersed in a dream setting, surrounded by hills covered with olive trees.
A small medieval masterpiece remained unchanged over the centuries. In fact, the houses, the winding alleys, the architraves and the dry stone walls of the cultivated terraces are made of stone.
Instead, all the painted doors are made of wood, whose number, year after year, grows more and more.
In summer, well-known and less known artists meet in Valloria to use the doors as if they were canvases during the event “A Valloria fai baldoria”: three painters create live new doors and then, al fresco among
the olive trees is celebrated together with dishes of local gastronomic tradition.
