The restoration follows the landslide in October 2024, and the reopening of the famous Via dell’Amore path is planned for early 2025.
The pathway is due to reopen at the end of 2024
An inspection by the Liguria Region, the Cinque Terre National Park and the municipality of Riomaggiore on the Via dell’Amore pathway between Riomaggiore and Manarola in the Cinque Terre National Park, which has been closed since the end of October, is planned for the end of the year. The aim of the inspection, which will include the Region President Marco Bucci and Soil Protection Councillor Giacomo Raul Giampedrone, together with Park President Lorenzo Viviani and Riomaggiore Mayor Fabrizia Pecunia, is to take stock of the work being carried out by the regional commissioning agency to restore and make safe the structures damaged by the detachment of a large boulder following heavy rainfall in October.
Heavy rainfall led to a landslide
In the meantime, work has already been completed on restoring the rockfall tunnel where the boulder had fallen, while the complex work on the rock face is proceeding, with the removal of material and the placement of an additional element consisting of netting anchored to the cliff with nails. Complicating the operations is the bad weather and also the strong winds that, on some days, have prevented the helicopter from supplying materials to the site. Once the rock face has been secured with an extra safety element, one of the four rockfall barriers below the one damaged by the landslide, can be replaced.
