Story goes that, as before, this land is in the hands of the workmen fishing, they were poor so the house is just a solid white. Gradually, the better off they paint with your favorite color for every trip to command at sea for months, they can get right out of his house.

Despite being the only divers fishing but their aesthetic is wonderful - a multi-colored blocks to make a picture of harmony and perfection. Unfortunately, in recent decades, the development of tourism, fishing workers had to leave this place, instead the elite from around the world. Hence the beauty of the house that has more or less faded away.

It's good news when the paint manufacturers have studied these things extensively on color (65 color all!) Which formerly used the fishing mechanic and current owner of the house he was required to paint the walls home just as we have had to return to Portofino inherent beauty.

Walking on the streets of this place, I just think of the time when people living here still fishing workers are physicians with robust body with tan brown color of sunshine and sea breezes, kids joke echoing against a corner of the village. Or I think of the scene workers perched fisherman mending their nets, boats remodel, say five sentences in conversation about life and work and the history of the fishing village.
