Via dell'Amore: secure
The path has been the subject of an intervention both complex and spectacular in terms of security and redevelopmentcreated by the Liguria Region, at the head of the structure of government commissioners against hydrogeological instabilityin collaboration with the Municipality of Riomaggiore and the Cinque Terre National Park, as well as with the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape and the Port Authority.
The total investment was more than 23 million euros: the Liguria Region, the largest donor, allocated a total of 12 million euros, to which were added resources from the Ministry of Culture (6.9 million), the Environment (3 million) and Civil Protection (1.5 million).
