  • MANAROLA, ITALY - 1 JUNE 2017: Margherita Ermirio, 32, a local who has spent years abroad and is now the pillar of the battle to restore dry stone walls and preserve the terracing, touches a non-dry stone wall (cement has been used here) to show a class of high-school students the difference with dry stone walls, here in Manarola, Italy, on June 1st 2017.<br />
<br />
Given its jagged coastline and manifold mountainous chains, Italy is believed to hold a record in Europe with an estimated 300,000 hectares of terracing, and 170,000 kilometers of dry stone walls— 20 times the length of the Great Wall of China.<br />
Liguria, the narrow half-moon shaped region along the northern<br />
Thyrrenian sea, has the highest concentration, and terracing is in<br />
poor shape there. In Vernazza, almost half of the terracing is in<br />
ruins.<br />
<br />
Terraced vineyards, apple and lemon groves horizontally run around the green slopes of the Cinque Terre. The stone walls have allowed such vital cultivation in the area and prevented land slides. Since the 1960s, the ancient walls have been largely<br />
abandoned, posing hydro-geological threats to the same villages during<br />
heavy rains and, in general, as time passes.<br />
<br />
Since the 2012 flood - when tons of mud invaded the<br />
village’s main road, shops and and homes, isolating the area and<br />
taking three lives - Margherita Ermirio has agreed with the various land lords to take<br />
over 6,000 square meters of land parcels that needed to be cleaned up,<br />
in order to fix them and thus prevent land slides, but also to show to<br />
the younger generations that agriculture is still possible in the<br />
Cinque Terre.

<br />
Given its jagged coastline and manifold mountainous chains, Italy is believed to hold a record in Europe with an estimated 300,000 hectares of terracing, and 170,000 kilometers of dry stone walls— 20 times the length of the Great Wall of China.<br />
Liguria, the narrow half-moon shaped region along the northern<br />
Thyrrenian sea, has the highest concentration, and terracing is in<br />
poor shape there. In Vernazza, almost half of the terracing is in<br />
ruins.<br />
<br />
Terraced vineyards, apple and lemon groves horizontally run around the green slopes of the Cinque Terre. The stone walls have allowed such vital cultivation in the area and prevented land slides. Since the 1960s, the ancient walls have been largely<br />
abandoned, posing hydro-geological threats to the same villages during<br />
heavy rains and, in general, as time passes.<br />
<br />
Since the 2012 flood - when tons of mud invaded the<br />
village’s main road, shops and and homes, isolating the area and<br />
taking three lives - Margherita Ermirio has agreed with the various land lords to take<br />
over 6,000 square meters of land parcels that needed to be cleaned up,<br />
in order to fix them and thus prevent land slides, but also to show to<br />
the younger generations that agriculture is still possible in the<br />
Cinque Terre.

  • LUGO, ITALY - 5 JANUARY 2020: Clara Agnoletti, a longtime supporter of the League, shows signs and bracelets of the party that she personalized with Swarovski crystals as she waits for Matteo Salvini, former Interior Minister of Italy and leader of the far-right League party, to show up for a party dinner in Lugo, Italy, on January 5th 2020.<br />
<br />
Matteo Salvini is campaigning in the region of Emilia Romagna to support the League candidate Lucia Borgonzoni running for governor.<br />
<br />
After being ousted from government in September 2019, Matteo Salvini has made it a priority to campaign in all the Italian regions undergoing regional elections to demonstrate that, in power or not, he still commands considerable support.<br />
<br />
The January 26th regional elections in Emilia Romagna, traditionally the home of the Italian left, has been targeted by Matteo Salvini as a catalyst for bringing down the government. A loss for the center-left Democratic Party (PD) against Mr Salvini’s right would strip the centre-left party of control of its symbolic heartland, and probably trigger a crisis in its coalition with the Five Star Movement.
