Hidden behind a small weather-beaten facade, Bottega d'Arte sells the lush paintings of Antonio Greco, who spent his childhood in Vernazza. His works of seascapes and village scenes evoke the magic of Cinque Terre. The other half of Bottega d'Arte is devoted to one-of-a-kind jewellery made from vintage pieces sourced from markets around Italy.
