What a marvelous find.
Thanks, Ted- I visited the link, read the wiki entry on Menton---sounds like a marvelous bit of culture. Microclimates, microcultures fascinate me.
Along the coast to the East and South, past Genoa are five tiny towns, long isolated, that I love- each unique in it's way.

Monterroso Al Mare
Vernazza
Corniglia
Tiny, sleepy Manarola
and lastly, Rio Majore

Together they are called the Cinque Terre- the five lands. We used to fly from Paris to Genoa and take the train after- the Albenga radio beacon right at the very top of the Ligurian sea
was our transition point into a different world.

Stormy afternoon in liguria.

All are scans from old film.  

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
