Portofino
is an old fishermen’s village connected to
Santa Margherita Ligure by a magnificent
coast road, considered today to be one of
the most beautiful in the world. The village,
concentrated around a natural harbour,
retains its original features. The climate
is temperate in summer and mild in winter.
It is an ideal resort, in all seasons, for
anyone wanting calm and rest in a setting
that is unique in the world. |

History Portofino -
The harbour of the dolphins
Phoenicians, Greeks or Romans? It is not
certain to which of the three peoples the
establishment of Portofino should be
attributed, but perhaps the events of the
little village go back even further, as it
would be difficult to deny the existence of
human settlements from protohistoric times
in such a favourable natural shelter from
the winds and sea. There is also a margin of
doubt concerning the origin of the name, but
most people support the origin Portus
Delphini, the harbour of the dolphins, the
version put forward by Pliny in the third
book of the Naturalis Historia. The
Itinerarium Maritimum, a navigation manual
of the third century AD, also refers to
Portus Delphini among the Ligurian harbours,
alongside Genoa, Vado, Albenga and Porto
Maurizio. |

| In the Early Middle Ages, Portofino,
having become a colony at the time of Rome’s
domination, ended up under the jurisdiction
of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. In
986 it was given by Adelaide, Empress and
Queen of Italy, to the Cassinese Benedictine
order of San Fruttuoso which, in 1171,
transferred it to the consuls of Rapallo for
the sum of 170 Genoese lire. After French
domination, it passed to the Florentines and
then, in 1425, was occupied by Tommaso Campo
Fregoso. Following a long string of disputes,
in which the Fieschis, Sforzas and Dorias
were protagonists, the village was
permanently acquired by the Republic of
Genoa, to whose events its history in the
period leading up to 1814 is linked. In
1815, together with the Republic of Genoa,
the “pearl of the world” was assigned to the
Kingdom of Sardinia by the Congress of
Vienna. |
