Concert in the church. High class on the singer.

A nice church in a very special place. High up and in the middle of the village. Unfortunately not open for visits inside but a well maintained cemetery is well worth a visit. Cultural heritage in all its glory.

Nice place?

Just visited a cemetery that has belonged to the family. Unfortunately, all the roses that adorned the tomb have disappeared and it seems abandoned. Lives in Malmö and visits the grave a few times a year.

Manarola

Manarola is a small town, a frazione of the comune of Riomaggiore. It is the second-smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists, with a population of 353.

Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name 'Manarola' is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, 'magna rota'. In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to 'magna roea' which means 'large wheel', in reference to the mill wheel in the town.

Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetrà, is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region.
