About the city
Albisola Superiore is a coastal town in the province of Savona, in Liguria, on the Riviera di Ponente, famous together with neighbouring Albissola Marina for its ancient tradition of artistic ceramics, a craft activity documented for centuries that remains a hallmark of the area. With some 10,000 inhabitants, it combines its seafront with a hinterland of hills. Its coast links it to water and beach sports. Albisola Superiore was recognised by ACES Europe as European Town of Sport 2011, a title reserved for municipalities of fewer than 25,000 inhabitants, which places it within the broad Italian representation of the ACES network.
