La Spezia is a city waiting to be discovered, thanks to its morphology it has been the subject of an important history that we will follow in the footsteps of the Contessa di Castiglione, a noblewoman of the city who lived in the second half of the 19th century. Her biography, spy and lover of famous personalities from Napoleon to Emanuele di Savoia, will accompany us as we rediscover the wonders of the city right up to the present day.
