Believe it or not, but cemetery's are actually quite different round the world, differences which takes root in the culture of the respective countries and regions. Visiting a cemetery helps to get a better understanding of the people in and history of an area - and can actually be a great experience as a tourist - especially if you use Google translate to translate signs and headstones!

I think it's nice to come to the cemetery because it's always quiet and neatly cleaned up, rarely withered bouquets

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.
