In the costline  of the Ligurian Levante known as Cinque Terre  the vine is cultivated with much labour from immemorabile time, it is grown on terracing, it has been worked out that the original length of the stone walls was of 6729 Km.  A unique land and sea scape, it is also a National Park and a Protected Sea Area, in this context  the sun and the sea play a very important quality role on the limited amount of Ligurian wine production.

The area has been declared by UNESCO world  heritage list.  The five villages are: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza e Monterosso.Ten years before a similar declaration had been attributed to the Great Cinese Wall, itself 7000 km long. On the 9th of July 2006 a Protocol of agreement has been signed between the Great Wall Society and Cinque Terre National Park, they committed themselves to protect their natural and cultural heritage, which testifies a virtuous interaction between human being and nature. Moreover they agreed to promote a sustainable development through the exchange of ideas and positive experiences.
