The Cinque Terre, fascination and beauty to the capacity of all.
The "Cinque Terre" include the coastal belt of the territory that runs from
Punta Mesco, the western promontory of Monterosso, to Portovenere; it’s a strip of
coast about 15 kms. long, between the sea and the mountains. Behind them, there’s the
Val di Vara (Vara Valley) and, in their final part, the Gulf of La Spezia.
The steep profile of this territory, sometimes overhanging on the sea, with growings and
vineyards, terraced thanks to the famous "little dry stone walls" (built with
stones without cement), where rocks and barren areas appear covered with heather, broom
and pines, only in a depht of 3 or 4 kms., highlights some 700-800 metres high
relieves.These places make us wittnesses of the real phisical sacrifice of man and his
spirituality, in the hug of an unique "fresco" between land, sky and sun. The
wild and harsh beauty of this secluded world, appears as a metaphor of a man who everyday
works hardly, looking for the flavour of his toil’s products.
