San Terenzo
From a small village to a meeting place for artists
Originally a fishing town from the 19th century on it has become a shelter for artists and intellectuals. The azure sea, the wide beach and the traditional colourful houses surrounding the Castle are the heart of this little village
In 1822 Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary moved to “Casa Magni”, a magnificent villa overlooking the sea and locating right on the promenade of San Terenzo, and they live there until his death.
“the place was too beautiful and didn’t seem out of this world…”
Mary Shelley
