Thank you Carlo for the movies and pictures.
I wanted to go here but i din't have enough free days... :sad:

I saw a little show with ligurian firecrackers once in Valencia, that was very loud!
I am very curious about the size of the shows with the ligurian firecrackers. Did you also filmed them??

In Rappalo are probably the loudest ligurian firecrackers in Italy in my opinion. The last big firecrackers are very very very loud, I have been in Valencia and in Rapallo and the finale from Rapallo is not worse than Valencia.

also few daylight shows are very nice.

Also looks like a very nice city to travel. Nice mountains, buildings, just looks good!
