The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia. "The Five Lands" is composed of five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Over centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible corporate development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. The Cinque Terre is a very popular tourist destination.
The villages of the Cinque Terre were severely affected by torrential rains which caused floods and mudslides on October 25, 2011. Nine people have been confirmed killed by the floods, and damage to the villages, particularly Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare, is extensive.

A Photographer's Guide to Cinque Terre, Italy
What to see and do in Vernazza and the Cinque Terre in Italy
One night I had a dream
Of a maiden in black and silver
She said to me, "Why are you afraid?
Why is the truth so hard to attain?"
I will show you your fears
Just look in the mirror
You can conquer your fears
Look at me
Forty days and forty dreams
Darkened visions, incline the reason
Philosophy cannot soothe your soul
But in the mirror the truth will be known
I will show you your fears
Just look in the mirror
You can conquer your fears
Look in deep
See unobtrusive, through the lies
No longer afraid, afraid to die
And so I lived the dreams
Danced with the maiden, made love to blackness
She said to me, "You are not alone
Don't be afraid to cry"
No more terror sleeps in me
I will not cry, I'll be strong
The last tear has rolled down on my face
I am stronger, stronger than yesterday
I will show you your fears
Just look in the mirror
You can conquer your fears
Look in deep
In my mirror you might not like what you see
(I will show you your fears)
For the mirror reflects the fears that you feel
In the mirror you might not like what you see
(You can conquer your fears)
