Cinque Terre ‘Via dell’Amore’ will reopen with controlled access

The route has been closed since 2012 due to landslides

Closed since 2012, the famous “Via dell’Amore” in the Cinque Terre in the Italian region of Liguria will have its first section reopened in May this year, but with controlled access.

The information was revealed this Saturday (1st) by the governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, who confirmed the full reopening of the tourist resort in 2024.

“We are talking about a jewel, we have invested more than 20 million euros to reopen a complex work, largely from regional funds. It will be a path to which access will have to be managed with the attention it deserves, with controlled flows, with illustration as if it were a naturalistic museum”, he declared in La Spezia on the sidelines of a press conference on tourism planning.

According to Toti, the government “is working on this with the mayor of Riomaggiore and the Cinque Terre National Park to put all the tools in place”.

The nearly one-kilometre route, which runs along the cliffs between the municipalities of Riomaggiore and Manarola, has been redeveloped thanks to an agreement between the government of Liguria and the ministries of culture and the environment of the Italian Republic.

Considered one of the country’s main coastal attractions, the road was closed after a landslide in 2012, which injured four tourists. The “path of love”, in the Portuguese translation, gained romantic fame because at the time of its construction, in the mid-1920s, it served as a hiding place for young lovers. .
