OliOliva 2016, Imperia is again the capital of oil

Ligurian olive oil

From 11th to 13th November 2016, Imperia and its territory celebrate with a great event their role of capitals of olive oil tastings, degustations, visits to producers, olive tree groves, olive oil mills, craftsmen shops, typical restaurants and inns in the beautiful landscape of Liguria of the days of yore.

All this is OliOliva, the event taking place from 11th to 13th November in the historical centre of Imperia Oneglia. During the same days, the olive oil mills will also be open in the oil valleys, with the traditional itineraries into the valleys, in Taggia and in the Argentina valley, from Riva Ligure to San Lorenzo, Ventimiglia, Bordighera and the Nervia valley.

The more curious tourists cannot miss the new setup of the Olive tree museum, found in the beautiful art nouveau building of company Fratelli Carli. A great occasion to discover a territory offering to Italian and foreign visitors alike a wealth of breath-taking landscapes. You will be able to admire its natural and artistic beauties and, of course, to taste its authentic typical products in a joyful and relaxed atmosphere.

L’automne en Liguria

L’AUTOMNE EN LIGURIA: La Rivière des Fleurs est très charmante à toutes les saisons

Il y a encore quelques “baigneurs” courageux qui choisissent de prendre un bain à la mer pendant ces dernières semaines alors que nous attendons l’arrivée de l’automne.
Ces semaines sont très importantes parce qu’elles marquent les reprises scolaires, du travail ou tout simplement pour les autres, aussi le désir de changer de residence et d’aller habiter dans une ville plus petite, plus tranquille et extrêmement élégante comme Bordighera.

Pendant la saison d’automne, l’ordre du jour de la Rivière des Fleurs est très mouvementée parce qu’il y a beaucoup d’engagements, par exemple: depuis le jeudi 13 Octobre 2016, la mairie de Sanremo organise un événement qu’il s’appelle “International Music Expo” où nous pouvons participer à la deuxième saison de “Master Class”, cette fois-ci dediée au saxophone. Pour l’occasion sera présent Claude Delangle, un des plus importants solistes au monde, rechercheur et enseignant au Conservatoire national Supérieur de la musique à Paris.

En faisant quelques kilometres, nous retournons à Bordighera, connue comme la “ville des Palmiers” dans laquelle il est impossible de ne pas faire attention à chaque détail.
Pour cette raison, nous devons être très satisfaits pour les travaux de rénovation de la balustrade entre Saint’Ampelio et le cèlebre restaurant La Reserve.
Elle a été construite en fer galvanisé et le travail realisé évoque le dessin idealisé par Charles Garnier en 1800.

De plus, nous pouvons admirer, encore une fois, les plus belles proprietés que notre agence offre à tous les citoyens et à tous les étrangers, par exemple dans “Corso Italia” (rue considerée le “nombril du monde” de Bordighera) il y a un appartement très simple qui se vante d’une excellente position parce qu’il est situé dans le centre ville et dans un palais d’époque très charmant.

En conclusion, en attendant l’arrivée de l’hiver, nous pouvons encore profiter du beau temps pour se proméner dans les rues les plus prestigeuses des villes du Ponente Ligure.

Ospedaletti, vintage motorcycles race

Every two years in Ospedaletti takes place the fabulous revival of vintage motorcycles.

Here you will see motorcycles and riders of yesteryear in an amazing two-day event. The Ospedaletti circuit is nicknamed the mini TT of flowers.

The “Autodromo di Ospedaletti” was the second designated venue for the San Remo Formula One Grand Prix from 1947 to 1951, after the original San Remo street circuit of the 1937 Grand Prix was no longer able to support the changing requirements of post-war Grand Prix racing.

Then, from 1952 up to 1972 the Circuit of Ospedaletti was only home of the motorcycle races, including Sidecar.

To take part in this exclusive event is like taking a dive into the past: the riders and bikes doing battle are the same as they once were. Giacomo Agostini in battle with his arch enemy Phil Read, the great maestro Hailwood, Gallina, Pasolini, Rigamonti, Tenconi, Beltoise, Nougier, Avenbacher, Fath, Knuppertz, Anderson, Sheene, Findlay, Saarinen, Zanetti, Venturi, Bonera and many more who still today, with the same determination of the past and passion in their hearts, parade in an apparently “peaceful” event, but in reality have the same desire as in the past to finish one ahead of the other.

Italian Market Overview

Italy’s residential market has turned a corner with viewings, prices and sales all increasing in 2015. Confidence is returning to the market but accurate pricing and realistic wish lists are a must for vendors and buyers.

Italy Report by Knight Frank

Prices
According to the Italian Statistics Office, 2015 marked a turning point for residential prices with price growth re-entering positive territory. Prime prices, having softened for several years, are following a similar trend. Across Knight Frank’s nine prime second-home markets, price performance has converged with annual growth ranging from 2.1% (Venice) to -3% (Sardinia) in 2015.
Although double digit annual price falls are firmly in the past we do not expect luxury prices to increase rapidly. Accurate, sensible pricing by vendors remains critical, particularly given the volume of properties available.

Sales
Market confidence is strengthening, residential sales increased by 7% in 2015 and Italy’s consumer confidence index is up 39% since its low in 2012. With properties now competitively priced and the choice of properties at its best for several years those buyers with access to cheap finance and those foreign buyers, able to take advantage of the favourable exchange rate, are deciding to act.
In 2016 we expect sales activity to strengthen in five of our prime markets (Tuscany, Florence, Umbria, Liguria and Sardinia) and to stay broadly stable in the remaining four.

Demand
In 2015 enquiries from buyers looking for an Italian property jumped 57% year-on-year. Tuscany continues to generate the most interest but Liguria and the Italian Lakes (from Como to Maggiore) are increasingly on buyers’ radar.
Italy attracts interest on a global scale. In 2015, some 171 nationalities searched for Italian properties on Knight Frank’s website with British, Italian, US and German buyers remaining the most active in the prime segment.
Buyers look to be taking advantage of current stock levels. The average number of property viewings undertaken per buyer rose from 2.1 in 2014 to 2.5 in 2015.

Currency
In the last two years, the euro has slipped from 0.83 to 0.73 against the pound and from 1.38 to 1.09 against the dollar providing British and US buyers with a strong buying opportunity in Italy.
Taking account of currency movements only this means a British buyer purchasing a €1m property will have seen a 12% reduction in price (or £98,000 in real terms) whilst a US buyer would have seen a saving of 21% (or $288,000). With QE stimulus still in place across the Eurozone and the dollar likely to strengthen in 2016 on the back of the Federal Reserve’s rate rise we expect foreign buyers to continue to benefit
during 2016.
