All along this jagged mountainous coastline are steep cliffs that meet ravines and there taper off to form small semi-circles of sand. Clustered around these stream-fed beaches are small towns and villages, their colorful houses clinging to the rocks and each other, making a collage of color and form stacked skyward from the aquamarine sea. Because of the topography the beauty and charm of these communities is unique and stunning. The Romans were the first to realize that this was not only a major maritime crossroads, but that it had potential to be a highly sought-after place to live, where the aristocracy could idle their time away in luxury.

Here they built castles and villas on the shores of the many lakes, enjoying the mild climate and typical Mediterranean vegetation against a marvelous mountain backdrop. This region is mostly a huge valley called the Great Plain of Lombardy and the Po Plain that was carved out by vast glaciers between the Alps and the Apennines. It's actually bordered by five nations including France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. Historically the area has been under immense pressure for dominance. Being a rich region of resources, kings and rulers over many centuries fought endlessly for power and land here. Italians are fiercely regional, thinking of themselves first as Tuscans, Milanese, Umbrians, etc., rather than Italians. Yet they're all bound together by a single language and supported by the great Catholic religion whose seat is Rome. But this northern part of Italy has always been separated from the Italian Peninsula and even now with the post World War II economic recovery the area has prospered so much that there are complaints that it's carrying the less prosperous south.

Liguria is one of the smallest regions of Italy. It runs along the northwestern coast, washed by the Mediterranean Sea. Mountains separate it from Piedmont to the north, while it joins Tuscany to the south. Genoa, the home of Christopher Columbus, is the northernmost city, and Lerici is the southernmost. This region is most famous for The Cinque Terre. The Cinque Terre is isolated and unique. Because of high steep cliffs that slope rapidly to the deep sea, covered with terraced hills of vineyards, olive groves and clusters of gaily colored houses honeycombing the rocks, the villages are far removed from the hustle and bustle of the French Riviera and the many famous cities of Italy. Because of the severe terrain, the roads are pretty impassible which accounts for the pristine unspoiled character of the area. Most visitors arrive either by train, ferry or footpath. The train stops in each of the five villages which are only 5 minutes apart from each other.

Venice, the lagoon city that rose to become Europe's most powerful merchant empire, is unique and unforgettable. When the Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century, barbarians swept across Italy. Thousands left their homes in the interior and took refuge on dozens of flat islands around a lagoon on the Adriatic Sea. Over the centuries they built a thriving economy on fish and salt and their camps developed into clusters of solid buildings placed on wooden pilings driven deep into the mud. The city is divided into six districts or regions. San Marco is the most fashionable and contains the major historical buildings. San Polo is the center of commercial activities. Castello and Cannaregeo are mostly residential areas. Others are Santa Croce and Dorsoduro. Each has its own personality and charm.
