Corniglia is the only one of the Cinque Terre not facing the sea but is perched on the top of a 90 mt high cape. It is surrounded by vineyards on the typical terraced belts. To reach the town you must take the long flight of steps called the Lardarina which is made up of 33 flights and 382 steps linking the road to the railway station.
Corniglia and literature: Corniglia, a small town mentioned in a verse of Boccaccio's Decamaron, more precisely, in the story of the misadventures of the Abbot of Cluny.
