Verano's Recipe of the Day

 

The Italian Riviera is a narrow strip of coastal land which extends along the Mediterranean Sea from Hyères, Var Department, France, to La Spezia, Liguria region, Italy.  The area is a world-famous winter resort.  The Italian Riviera is divided into the Riviera di Ponente (Coast of the Setting Sun) and the Riviera di Levante (Coast of the Rising Sun).  Other opopular resort communities on the Italian Riviera are Ventimiglia, San Remo, Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, and Rapallo.  The region has a mild climate, as the Alps protect the region from the colder northern winds.  This temperate clime results in the growth of such tropical fruits as the pomegranate, banana, and date and such trees as the palm.
