Part 4/9:
The charm of Cinque Terre extends beyond its landscapes. Locals take pride in their rich heritage, reflected in their traditions, dialects, and cuisine. Each village retains distinct dialects; for example, "sposato" denotes "married" in Vernazza, while "accompagnato" is used in Riomaggiore.
Vernazza's main square, usually bustling with energy, plays host to a mobile market where locals shop for their necessities, highlighting a remarkable camaraderie among residents. The Lombardo family's flowers stand out, thanks to Eros, who charms shoppers with spontaneous renditions of Italian opera while selling vibrant flowers.
