immediately end up in their<br />

catalogues and brochures”, tells<br />

Pinelli. Another very picturesque<br />

itinerary goes from Campiglia to<br />

Biassa, does a tour of the Gulf, to<br />

then reach Bocca di Magra. Yet<br />

another rises up from the sea at<br />

Bocca di Magra to enjoy the view<br />

from Montemarcello and then<br />

descend to Tellaro, near the<br />

Cinque Terre.<br />

The paths are part of our<br />

heritage, and well worth taking<br />

advantage of. Just think that in<br />

Germany, 30 million people<br />

belong to hiking associations, and<br />

the figures continue to rise.<br />

Another segment is cycling fans –<br />

both road and mountain bike.<br />

“We have so many interesting<br />

routes and soon we are planning<br />

to enrich the offering adding<br />

electrical bicycles,” explains the<br />

President of the STL.<br />

The first figures in for the 2013<br />

tourist season are positive. Last<br />

year, after floods and landslides,<br />

reservations dropped. But this<br />

year the numbers are comforting,<br />

due especially to foreign tourism.”<br />

In Manarola, Riomaggiore, and<br />

Vernazza work is continuing to<br />

reopen all the paths that were<br />

damaged by the weather. Efforts<br />

are concentrated above all on the<br />

Via dell’Amore, that romantic<br />

promenade carved out of the<br />

cliffs between Riomaggiore and<br />

Manarola, then closed because of<br />

the landslides. “It was an<br />

authentic emergency,” Pinelli tells<br />

with anguish, “as if in Pisa, they<br />

closed the Tower.”<br />

Out-of-season tourist offerings<br />

this year in La Spezia include a<br />

special edition Festa della<br />

Marineria, (Festival of the Navies)<br />

from October 3 to 6, which will<br />

also host the concluding leg of<br />

the Mediterranean Tall Ship<br />

Regatta. This great international<br />

regatta, dedicated to tall ships<br />

from around the world, leaves<br />

from Barcelona to pass Toulon,<br />

and arrive in La Spezia.<br />

E Vernazza rinasce più verde<br />

And a Greener Vernazza Is Reborn<br />

Secondo il New York Times è<br />

l’unica destinazione italiana<br />

indicata tra i 46 luoghi da<br />

vedere nel 2013, ma in realtà è<br />

una fortuna che Vernazza ci sia<br />

ancora. L’alluvione del 25<br />

ottobre 2011 ha rischiato di<br />

portarla via, di cancellarla<br />

insieme ad altri angoli delle<br />

Cinque Terre. Invece il loro<br />

paesaggio è ancora là, a rapire e<br />

sconvolgere le anime dei<br />

viaggiatori di tutto il mondo,<br />

con le case colorate degli<br />

antichi borghi che sembrano<br />

tenersi per mano, aggrappate le<br />

une alle altre in un comune<br />

destino. Un’immagine così<br />

After the flood of 2011, Richard Rogers – great friend of native<br />

son and fellow Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Renzo Piano – is<br />

urban planning Vernazza, one of the five Cinque Terre, with<br />

alternative energy and sustainable mobility<br />

Though it is the only Italian<br />

destination among the 46<br />

places to see in 2013 listed by the<br />

New York Times, it is actually pure<br />

luck that Vernazza still actually<br />

exists. The devastating flood of<br />

October 25, 2011 almost swept it<br />

away, along with other parts of<br />

the Cinque Terre. But it is still<br />

here. It still steals the hearts and<br />
