Apricale
Liguria
Apricale ("apricus", sun-facing) pours down a hillside spur below a Doria castle, its houses linked by vaulted passageways, external staircases and small painted squares. Olive-grove paths climb to it from the valley, and the village is known for its summer open-air theatre and for pansarole fritters.
