Every September, Recco turns into something different. Bells echo through the hills, cannons shake the air, colored smoke rises from the riverbed, fireworks sparkle in the night sky, and the streets fill with the tantalizing smell of food. This is the Sagra del Fuoco, the feast of the Madonna del Suffragio.
This past Saturday I attended the third edition of Civ…ediamo a Recco che sfila 2025, a local runway event that puts the spotlight on the creative talents of small businesses right here in Recco, Italy.
I’m really happy we decided to go to this small, but honestly fun festival near where we live. We got to connect more with our community, and it was honestly a great experience watching people of all ages smile with focaccia in their hand, kids running around while their parents relax in the shade of olive trees.
In the year leading up to our wedding in Florence in November 2023, I spent a lot of time exploring different towns throughout Italy, trying to find the right place for us to move after we got married. Just a couple of months before the wedding, I stumbled across Recco.
