Description

The picturesque marina in the town
of Rio Maggiore in Italy's Cinque
Terre national park. Riomaggiore
(Rimazu in the local Ligurian
language) is a village and comune
in the province of La Spezia,
situated in a small valley in the
Liguria region of Italy.
.....
It is the first of the Cinque
Terre one meets when travelling
north from La Spezia. The village,
dating from the early thirteenth
century, is known for its historic
character and its wine, produced
by the town's vineyards.
.....
Riomaggiore is in the Riviera di
Levante region and has shoreline
on the Mediterranean's Gulf of
Genoa, with a small beach and a
wharf framed by tower houses.
Riomaggiore's main street is Via
Colombo, where numerous restaurants,
bars and shops can be found. The
Via dell'Amore is a path connecting
Riomaggiore to its frazione Manarola,
also part of the Cinque Terre.
.....
Riomaggiore is the most southern
village of the five Cinque Terre,
all connected by trail. The water
and mountainside have been declared
national parks. Riomaggiore inspired
paintings by Telemaco Signorini
(1835-1901), one of the artists of
the Macchiaioli group.
