Porto Doria

About the Studio

At the foot of Palazzo Doria in Cabella Ligure—an enchanting village nestled in the Piedmontese hills, once part of ancient Liguria—lies the artist studio of Maria Aurora Zeiss. The name Porto Doria evokes a timeless connection between Cabella, nearby Genova, and the distant sea, recalling an era when maritime routes opened new worlds and stirred the soul’s longing for elsewhere.

The studio welcomes commissions. For bespoke projects, personal artworks, or creative collaborations, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
