San Remo By Night
San Remo is a popular resort in Liguria on Italy's north west coast. The town, which has a population of 57,000, is celebrated for its mild climate and is often called the City of Flowers ("la Cittá dei Fiori"). The town is home to an international flower market and the production of olive oil is also a key element in its economy. San Remo is also widely accepted as the birthplace of the five-card stud variation "Telesina". It is dealt like normal five-card stud but with an additional final round where a sixth community card is dealt. The game is played with a stripped deck (8s and better) and flushes beat full houses.

The medieval old town centre, known locally as "La Pigna", includes the Russian Orthodox Church, the Romanesque-gothic Cathedral of San Siro, the Casino, the Borea d'Olmo Ducal Palace, the Villa Nobel and the Villa Ormond with its luxuriant botanical garden. Local attractions include an 18-hole golf course, horse-back riding, tennis clubs, and the ancient "Porto Vecchio" marina. Residents have included Monet, Garibaldi and Alfred Nobel.
