Picturesque Italy – Series II / Ligurian Riviera. Part Two: The Eastern Riviera
This silent travelogue of unknown date was photographed by Riccardo Cartoni and produced by Unione Cinematografica Italiana (UCI). As noted by Renato Venturelli and Giancarlo Giraud in the 44th Pordenone Silent Film Festival catalogue, the film documents locations along the Ligurian Riviera di Levante, beginning in Genoa and continuing through Quarto dei Mille, Nervi, Sant’Ilario, Bogliasco, Recco, Camogli, Santa Margherita Ligure, Portofino, San Fruttuoso, Rapallo, and Levanto. Notable landmarks include the Eden Hotel, Gropallo Tower, and Portofino Kulm Hotel. Later segments present locations in a less structured sequence. A 1913 listing in Kinematograph Weekly for a film titled The Italian Riviera may refer to the same film. Being preserved in a tinted and toned 35mm nitrate print (300 m, 12'07" at 18 fps) with Italian intertitles, restored in 2025 by Cineteca Milano at MicLab.
