In 1884, Claude Monet traveled extensively through the Italian Riviera, particularly around Bordighera and Menton, seeking new inspirations away from his usual French landscapes. This journey allowed him to explore the unique Mediterranean light and exotic vegetation, resulting in a series of works that vividly depict these new settings. "Valley of Sasso" is a prime example of his dedication to capturing the fleeting effects of sunlight on the diverse flora of the region.
