Villa Faraldi Slow starts today

A rich Spring-Summer calendar filled with great activities for adults and children, starting today and lasting until September in Villa Faraldi – a small village in Imperia province.

All planned events not only promote the discovery of this beautiful village, its history, tradition, and local products but they also forward sustainable and environmentally friendly choices, helping spread a different way to do tourism with a reduced impact on environment.
