Xtrallusion presents to you a photographic preview of individual walking itineraries offered on the Italian Riviera and in Italy. All photo galleries give the visitor an insight into the kind of terrain and landscapes passed through and the views along the way one might find.

All photos on this site have been taken by the author and founder of Xtrallusion. Most of the photos have been taken in the region of Liguria, with special interest given to 'i mare e monte' - the sea and mountains which so strongly characterise this area. The photographer has and continues to travel and explore much of Italy and has chosen to include photos from other regions and places which have found warm affection in his heart.

Adding new photographs of Liguria, the Italian Rivieras and Italy every month. The thing with Italy and many of it's towns and cities, is that you are always aware of the great contrast between beauty and 'ugliness' - the beauty and the beast. Nothing conforms to a standard level of tidiness, order or cleanliness - you see in one direction graffiti covered walls and badly maintained buildings and streets, and then the other way, a beautiful Piazza, boutique, park or building. An old scooter passes ridden by an immaculately dressed woman. Nothing borders onto sterility here, nor is there ever a constant level of perceived 'perfection' and order that you get in Switzerland for example. Wherever you go, there are new surprises for all your senses - maybe it is these great contrasts in the daily life which gives Italy it's charm, it's vibrant life and it's visitors a never ending curiosity. Explore the Ligurian Riviera coast, the Ligurian Alps, and cities of Italy with a variety of independent & escorted itineraries.
