Cinque Terre - Vernazza
It may be overly touristy, and somewhat hokey, but it is a beautiful area, and this is a disaster....
Thirty-two years ago, I met two American college girls while hitchhiking in Switzerland. They were studying in Florence, and I asked them their favorite place in Italy. They surprised me by naming a place I had never heard of before: Cinque Terre. Curious, I headed south and discovered a humble string of five villages along Italy's Riviera coast with almost no tourism...and, it seemed, almost no contact with the modern world.
