Bar Marina di Corniglia

This guide to Bar Marina di Corniglia opens with a question about the sign overhead: how can a place called a marina have no breakwater, no jetty, and nowhere to tie up a boat. It follows why Corniglia, alone among the five villages, grew as a farming settlement roughly ninety meters up a cliff rather than as a fishing port, while its four neighbors built their lives around real harbors and real boats. Order a drink, take the seat closest to the rail, and look at the rocky notch the village decided to call a marina anyway.
