"The" little wall "(Italian: muretto), designed by Mario Berrino, is a popular destination for tourists as well as those interested in art. Until the end of the Second World War, it was only a small enclosure wall around the Alassios city park. During the economic boom in the In the 1960s and 1970s, however, the city's citizens began to embellish the wall with irregularly shaped tiles.
The first tile was installed in 1951 by the writer Ernest Hemingway while he was in town. Other painted tiles were donated by the Quartetto Cetra and Cosimo Di Ceglie, for example. The custom is still alive today, and meanwhile numerous signatures (around 500) of famous personalities adorn the "Little Wall of Alassio". "(Source: Wikipedia)
