LEGO is transporting fans to the sun-soaked Ligurian coast with its newest release: the LEGO Ideas Italian Riviera set (21359). The 3,251-piece model, designed for adult builders, captures the charm of a Mediterranean fishing village with three colorful, angled buildings housing a gelato shop, diving gear store and bustling fish market.
The creation was submitted by Oregon-based fan designer Alex Sahli through the LEGO Ideas program, which turns community-voted concepts into real sets. Inspired by Italy’s Cinque Terre, Sahli focused on architectural angles, vibrant colors and textural detail, saying he’s “especially proud of the roofing and stonework.”
The set includes 10 minifigures, like a pasta-making nonna and a gelato vendor, bringing everyday coastal life to the build. Early access for LEGO Insiders begins August 7, with general release on August 10. Priced at $300 USD, purchases between August 7–13 include a free LEGO Mediterranean Scene gift set, while supplies last.
