Over the course of more than half a century the Festival of Sanremo , which takes place at the end of February, has become essential viewing, followed by up to twenty million television viewers every year. Many of the best-known Italian songs and singers of the past sixty years became known through San Remo, from Domenico Modugno's worldwide hit "Nel blu dipinto di blu" (Volare) to the hits of Eros Ramazzotti.

- Focaccia is a flat bread rather like a pizza but thicker. It is made with dough similar to that used for making bread, but with the addition of salt and extra virgin olive oil. Both focaccia and the smaller focaccine are good eaten warm on their own; they can also be cut in half and filled with cold cuts or cheese. They are eaten as a mid-morning or afternoon snack, or for a quick lunch or supper. The Ligurian version is made with cheese.
