Travel Guide
Travel BookTrail style to Vernazza to The Lemon Tree Hotel
Vernazza is perhaps the most beautiful of all the villages in the Cinque Terre region. The village suffered a tragedy in 2011 and this forms the basis of this story.
The author thanks the village of Vernazza in her end notes and explains how she has tried her best to stay faitful to the spirit of the village. Sadly The Lemon Tree Hotel is fictional but she would be the first one there!
Rosanna met the artist Antonio Greco in the village who shared his personal story of the events of October 25, 2011. He made a plaque marking this time which pays homage to all those who supported the people and the village afterwards.
