A cultural experience in The Gulf of the Island signed Gulf Guides.

During the guided tour you will discover how in the 1920s, Spotorno became, almost without realizing it, the stage for an important literary plot, but above all for an intense love story.

The visit is sponsored by the municipality of Spotorno to celebrate the centenary of the visit in Liguria by the famous English writer David Herbert Lawrence.

In 1925, Lawrence stayed with his wife. Frieda Von Richthofen at the prestigious Miramare Hotel in Spotorno. Here Frieda experienced an overwhelming passion with a local man, the inspiration for the famous novel "Lady Chatterley's Lover.". Liguria, already then a favorite destination for English tourists and writers such as Byron, Dickens and Shelley, thus became a real and symbolic setting for their affairs.

During the guided tour, a real literary walk, participants will be accompanied by the  Gulf Guides along an evocative route through the historic center and the "creuze" of the village. At various points along the way, letters from the famous correspondence between Lawrence, Frieda and their acquaintances of the time will be read. The common thread of these letters is the love for the Riviera and Spotorno.

An immersive experience that combines story e literature,  designed for those who love English literature and the authentic beauty of Liguria.
