About this audio guide
This guide to Nessun Dorma, a clifftop spot above Manarola in Cinque Terre, follows a young local named Simone who entered a two thousand fourteen town competition for a battered, unwanted plot on the rocks above the harbor, playing one Pavarotti recording on loop while he wrote his proposal. You'll hear what he found on the seventy meters of terrace he won, and why he named the place after the aria that got him there. Look for the sketch by the door, and hold your wine glass steady on the slotted tables.
