    Illuminations on the Gulf of Poets

    Each year on Aug 17, the northern Italian fishing village of Porto Venere is illuminated with more than 2,000 torches for the festival of the White Madonna, a tribute to the town’s patron saint. The lights extend onto this rocky spur, which juts into the Gulf of La Spezia, also known as the Gulf of Poets. With views like this, we can easily see how it inspired poets and artists throughout history–including Lord Byron, who is said to have swum across this body of water to visit fellow poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

    My Visit to Porto Venere and Cinque Terre. When I visited Porto Venere and Cinque Terre, I was on a two week coach tour of Italy. After visiting Pisa in the morning, we drove through La Spezia, where we would be spending the night, and on to Porto Venere. After exploring Porto Venere for about an hour, we took a very cold ferry ride to Cinque Terre.
