The Cinque Terre is a patrimony of humanity comparable
to the Pyramids of Egypt, or the Colosseum of Rome.
This is because the Cinque Terre represent the history
of a population that was birthed in the 10th Century.
A millenarian history made out of human sweat to
conquer the mountain, a
small piece of land to cultivate.
The stone made dry walls which line the terraces
of the surrounding mountains, some of which are
only a couple of meters wide, are the veins of this
wonderful place where the DNA slides through the
inhabitants; inhabitants who, year after year, meter
after meter have built a wall whose length, if aligned,
exceeds the length of the Great Wall of China.
Enchanted places, where for only one time, the reality
exceeds the fantasy.
