Many of them are abandoned, old people cannot climb them and young people go to work in La Spezia, commuting via train. So disasters follow after a rainfall, like last November in Monterosso, which was devastated by a flash flood. Tullio ID: 1197602 ·

My son, who frequents Vernazza where he met his wife, suggests Pesto. Tullio ID: 1197788 ·

This mountain has only two, which means it is in a bilingual region. There is no border on its top, like there is one on Matterhorn and also on Mont Blanc. Tullio ID: 1197943 ·

tullio Volunteer tester Send message Joined: 9 Apr 04 Posts: 8797 Credit: 2,930,782 RAC: 1	Message 1198186 - Posted: 21 Feb 2012, 11:45:19 UTC Yes. The Italian name is a prosaic one, related to the shape seen from this side (East) which looks like a basin. The German name is more poetic since it reflects the color hue of all Dolomiti west faces at sunset, which is called "enrosadira" in the Ladin (not Latin) language still used in this eastern valley. The west side valley is more German speaking. Tullio ID: 1198186 ·
