Rick's Video of the Month: May 2012

Rick's First Post-Flood Stroll down Vernazza's Main Street

For me, walking through Vernazza, six months to the day after its flood, was like seeing an old friend who had changed dramatically. But the magic is still there, and the promise of a town put back together is strong. Viva Vernazza...Vernazza lives.

 

As a comparison, here is a video I took of the same walk one year ago (six months before the disaster) on May 9, 2011.

For a more in-depth look at Vernazza, watch my original "Cinque Terre: Italy's Riviera" TV show on Hulu. Or, buy the DVD.

For articles — and links to local news sources — about the progress being made today in Vernazza and Monterosso, see our Cinque Terre News.
