Moneglia can count in its history some very important figures, whose fame is recognized worldwide: Luca Cambiaso, one of the great Italian Renaissance Painters was born in Moneglia in 1527.

The striking beauty of the sea, the coastline and the surrounding green hills were all elements that transformed this village into the summer residence of many well-to-do Genoese families during the past centuries.
This highly regarded tourist resort, located in the very south of the Tigullio Gulf, offers tourists a welcoming holiday with a difference.

Moneglia, named Monilia by the Romans, is an old Ligurian village that still today has a magical calm and quiet quality, revealing a hidden beauty that makes it a little different from the busiest resorts on the Italian Riviera, with Portofino to the West and The Cinque Terre to the East. Felice Romani, the librettist and poet, author of Norma, Bellini’s refined musical verses, also lived and died in Moneglia in 1865.
