This caruggio—the Ligurian term for a narrow alley—crosses the main street connecting Via Colombo to Via Antonio Gramsci in the historic center of Riomaggiore, a municipality in the province of La Spezia and one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre. The town’s location in the steep valley of the Rio Maggiore, between the hillside and the sea, shapes its urban structure: short, steep streets; tall, contiguous buildings; and intensive use of the buildable area. The plastered and colorfully painted facades, as well as the wooden shutters and window frames, reflect construction techniques common to the village; the exposed stone walls bear witness to past construction phases and subsequent repairs. Cables, conduits, and light fixtures highlight the installation of contemporary infrastructure within a medieval urban fabric, the core of which generally dates to the 13th century. Pots and small plantings near the entranceways preserve domestic uses in a space subject to heavy tourist pressure. Riomaggiore is part of the property inscribed on the World Heritage List since 1997: “Portovenere, Cinque Terre, and the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto.”
