It dominates the five maritime “cribs” that give their name to the Cinqueterre territory (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso). It has notably contributed, thanks to its people’s work, in building up a unique landscape in the world, at the heart of the fabolous Cinqueterre scenary. It is a village with strong roots in peasantry, in vineyards, in wine production, but it is also a village that is quickly changing into a tourist place. Through the creation of reception/hospitality structures, of travelling services, it gives the tourists the opportunity of enjoying many various walks, either up in the hills or down along the seaside and eventually diving into the sea. Characters of the buildings in the village: the original circular structure makes to think of a possible Etrurian origin; the most ancient side cannot be seen from the sea.

It has been said that the name refers to a temple to the goddess Venus which was sited on the promontory where the church of Peter the Apostle now stands. The name has also been linked to that of the hermit Saint Venerius. In Roman times the city was essentially a fishing community After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Portovenere became the base of the Byzantine fleet in the northern Tyrrhenian Sea, but was destroyed by the Lombards in 643 CE. Later, it was a frequent target of Saracen raids. First indications of the existence of a castle date from 1113, and in 1161 the walls were erected. Portovenere became a fiefdom of a family from Vezzano before passing to Genoa in the early twelfth century. In 1494, it suffered a devastating bombardment from the Aragonese fleet during their war with Genoa: subsequently the old part of the town declined in importance, giving way to the development of the Borgo Nuovo (“New District”), which had existed from 1139 and is centred on the church of St. Peter.

Nikon D300 Nikon 12/24 Tuscany This is a region rich of many kinds of realities, connected one to the other which offers brands new visual experiences, in every season of the year. / However, Tuscany doesn’t show itself so easily, it’s a hard work “to see it” properly but is offers to a careful photographer, the chance to “re-create”… / You have to choose the right “points of view”, moving upwards or downwards, waiting for the best light, walking for hours with your camera and tripod, to catch up the right proportions and cuts. / These gentle hills, undulations, far views, cypress’ silhouettes, vineyards, cottages and small villages can be connected and alterned with the photographer’s work, producing gorgeous compositions. / This puzzle has endless solutions; many colours and shades to seize… / Maybe here, more than anywhere, you can clearly feel how tight is the bond between man and nature: the result of a common effort to go deep inside, enhancing just the essential in order to get to the solid harmony of its architectures, and the gentles of its hills. / It’s hard searching for familiarity, just to penetrate that vague layer of jealousy, calmness and discretion surrounding the whole landscape. / Have a good trip in Tuscany!

From its curious and irregularity shape it is commonly called the ‘Hunchback Bridge’; also the ‘Devil’s Bridge’ after many legends: the famous legend tells that it was built by the Devil in one night after he made a pact with Saint Columbanus who promised him the soul of the first passerby; but when the bridge was finished the Irish Saint sent a dog. / The other legend is in which a man tricks Satan into rebuilding it over-night after it has been destroyed by a flood. In reality the bridge did need to be reconstructed after flood damage in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Nikon D100 Sigma 15/30

Featured in Nautical Group November – 13 – 2009 / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— Grado Grado is a town and comune in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located on a peninsula of the Adriatic Sea between Venice and Trieste. The comune (municipality) of Grado has an area of 114 km², and a population of 8,691. Once mainly a fishing center, today it is a popular tourist destination, known commonly as L’Isola del Sole (“The Sunny Island”), also famous because it is also a spa town; together with Marano Lagunare, it is the center of a lagoon, which is famous for its uncontaminated nature. Grado is the birthplace of Biagio Marin, a poet who sang about the island in the local Venetian dialect. The harbour is a symbol linking past and present for a community that has always relied primarily on fishing for its sustenance. Built in the shape of an upside-down Y, this was one of the most significant public works projects built by the Austrians, who arrived in Grado in 1815. It is the backdrop for the frenetic activities of fisherman going to and from the lagoon, as well as the departure point for boats that set out to explore the entrancing lagoon landscape of canals, islets, and traditional thatched casoni, the fishermen’s houses that have now become an emblem of the lagoon.
