Dolceacqua is a small town located in the province of Imperia, close to the French border. French Impressionist painter Claude Monet made it the subject of some of his famous paintings, and called it a “jewel of lightness.” Dolceacqua (literally, ‘sweet water’) is a typical medieval village of Val Nervia, on the hills of the Ligurian hinterland between Ventimiglia and Bordighera, in the western portion of the Italian Riviera, close to the border with France. The Castle of the Doria overlooks the old part of the village, at the foot of Mount Rebuffao, which the residents call Terra (‘earth’).
