Corniglia

After the fall of Rome, very little is known about Corniglia; nonetheless, in the 13th century, it became a part of the Republic of Genoa. Corniglia is still famed for its wine, and travelers who want to experience the Cinque Terre but stay in a calm, less-trodden area seek out the village. Corniglia is located in the southernmost part of the Cinque Terre.

Monterosso al Mare
