Guy de Maupassant loved to visit this city. “This green bay in the kingdom of harmony and peace, so contrasts with all the anxiety of our life,” - he wrote about Portofino.

The pier shown in my painting is called Molo Umberto I. Expensive yachts dock here. Nearby is the yacht club, which annually organizes a sailing regatta, known since 2015 as the Coppa Carlo Negri Regata Primavera.
