From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camogli is a small Italian fishing village and tourist resort located in the province of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. The name has a double meaning in Italian. The first translation, "houses close together," is apparent when you stroll through the town's narrow streets, which are lined by tall columns of pastel-colored homes. The second meaning, "houses of wives," is not so obvious; it refers to the sea captains, sailors & fishermen's wives, who traditionally spent their time at home while their husbands were out at sea. Camogli has 5,692 inhabitants. Camogli is located just at the basis of Monte di Portofino and guarantees a very special gastronomy tradition (focaccia in particular).
