| In the north-western,
coastal area of Italy, we find another of the smallest regions,
Liguria. The capitol of Genoa is a thriving, modern city with
its’ own World Trade Center. |

Still, nature is prevalent, as the northern Mediterranean
Sea borders its’ southern side and mountains are the border
on the north.
Rocky coves and pebble beaches contrast the fact that it’s
one of the largest naval and commercial ports. It has long been
a favorite seaside vacation spot for Italians as well as for
many famous poets and artists. |

The church bells ring, it's six o'clock in
the morning and the small town begins to wake up. You stand
at the window and watch the sun creep over the distant hills.
Pink hazy light fills the horizon; within minutes, patches
of green come to life in the valley below. The piazza fills
with people greeting each other as they head off to work or
school. |

All over Italy, this is how the day begins.
Hundreds of medieval towns caught in the struggle to fit into
a fast-changing world while holding onto their unique charm.

as sharing the small things that make up their daily lives.

| The Italians stop and take time to visit with
each other in person, sitting in piazzas or at a café,
life slows down and finds its roots.
The balance we all look for is here, at times intense with
passion, but always coming back to what's most important
- relationships. |
