Simon WhistlerHOST
As Alaric approached the walls of the capital, he saw Honoris accompanied by a feeble train of statesmen and eunuchs retreating toward the Alps, which filled them with the satisfaction of seeing the Roman Emperor flee before him.
Simon WhistlerHOST
With the Goths on his tail, Honoris had no other option except to take refuge inside a fortified city in Liguria and hope that Stilicho arrived in time.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Fortunately for him, that's exactly what happened.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Alaric laid siege, but Stilicho and his army arrived, forcing the Goths to retreat westward to the city of Palencia, known today as Palenzo.
Paul GreenGUEST
In Europe, you'll see it in famously in Sardinia.
Paul GreenGUEST
You'll see it in Liguria.
Paul GreenGUEST
You'll see it a little bit in Corsica.
Paul GreenGUEST
So in that sort of Mediterranean area, it grows really well.
Katie ClarkHOST
The Cinque Terre needs no introduction.
Katie ClarkHOST
The five lands or villages on the Ligurian Sea have captured the imagination of travelers for centuries, thanks to their precarious positions on cliff tops and, of course, the breathtaking views they enjoy.
Katie ClarkHOST
But what fascinates me the most is how the people live and have lived in this challenging environment for many centuries.
Katie ClarkHOST
We'll find out all about them today with the help of a local.
Katie ClarkHOST
As always, it is the people, their ingenuity, and creativity to work in a landscape that, while beautiful, is unforgiving when it comes to growing crops for people to eat and to enjoy.
Katie ClarkHOST
But somehow they manage to produce some of Italy's most delicious dishes and wine, and continue to innovate as the climate changes.
Katie ClarkHOST
In a couple of weeks, we are taking our second sold-out tour of the year to this region, where they will meet the Cinque Terre locals, swim in the Ligurian Sea, and soak up everything that is truly wonderful about this coastal region.
Katie ClarkHOST
We are heading back to the Cinque Terre and Liguria in 2027 with an updated itinerary, including an added day, an easier departure point from Milan, and drop-off in Florence.
Kevin O'DonnellGUEST
Seafood and the weather's beautiful and the boats are everywhere.
Kevin O'DonnellGUEST
So tapping into the Amalfi coast or Sicily or Calabria or, you know, Liguria and the Cinque Terre.
Kevin O'DonnellGUEST
And then the weather kind of cools down a little bit in December and you want more comfort food.
Kevin O'DonnellGUEST
So we might be tapping more into like mountain cuisine, Alpine style cooking, going into like Trento Alto Adige or Piedmont.
Samantha WilsonHOST
It's everything you think it is.
Samantha WilsonHOST
We're talking about Liguria and Tuscany and Umbria and La Marche and Lazio.
Samantha WilsonHOST
So this whole center part, band of Italy.
Samantha WilsonHOST
And it's kind of a nice mix of the north and the south.
BenedettaHOST
So I know just Turin.
ValeriaHOST
This we went together to Liguria.
BenedettaHOST
Yes, we went to Liguria.
ValeriaHOST
The land of Cinque Terre.
BenedettaHOST
The
BenedettaHOST
But if you just go a little bit further out, there's just so much.
ValeriaHOST
There's so much.
ValeriaHOST
In Liguria you have the part that goes more to the south that is different to the part that is more in the north.
Kirsten WeaverNARRATOR
A stout, elderly, lonely woman in a poke bonnet, indescribable except by that old Victorian term, a party, and as unlike Balzac's younger brother as only Sarah Gamp's elder sister could be.
Kirsten WeaverNARRATOR
How, I wondered in my hotel, came the elder sister of Sarah Gamp to be here in Liguria and in the twentieth century? How clomb she, puffing and panting, onto that pedestal? For what argosy of gin was she straining her old eyes seaward? I knew there would be no sleep for me until I had solved these problems, and I went forth afoot along the way I had come.
Kirsten WeaverNARRATOR
The moon had risen, and presently I saw in the starlight the party who so intrigued me.
Kirsten WeaverNARRATOR
Eminent, amorphous, mysterious, there she stood, immobile, voluminous, ghastly beneath the moon.
Jeffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
At this spot about 300 stadia from land there comes up sweet water over a large area, not all of it together, but in three places.
Jeffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
And in Liguria a river equal in size to the Rhodanus is swallowed up and appears again elsewhere, the Rhodanus being a navigable river.
Jeffrey EdwardsNARRATOR

Jeffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
The same parts of the earth are not always moist or dry, but they change according as rivers come into existence and dry up.

Jeffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
It is the vertical direction which makes this kind of earthquake so rare.
Jeffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
The motive force does not easily accumulate in great quantity in the position required, since the surface of the earth secretes far more of the evaporation than its depths.
Jeffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
Wherever an earthquake of this kind does occur, a quantity of stones comes to the surface of the earth, as when you throw up things in a winnowing fan, as we see from Sepulus and the Phigrian plain and the district in Liguria, which were devastated by this kind of earthquake.
Jeffrey EdwardsNARRATOR
Islands in the middle of the sea are less exposed to earthquakes than those near land.

Amy RioloGUEST
But in my personal thing, mostly in Calabria, Italy, but also I spend a lot of time in Rome.
Amy RioloGUEST
Um, because of my line of culinary products, I'm also in Emilia-Romagna, and in, uh, Liguria, and in Puglia, and in different places.
Amy RioloGUEST
Uh, there's a lot of 70-year-olds in Italy running around, getting their parents, taking them to dinner, going to visit them, having them live with them because there's a lot of 90-year-olds and a lot of 100-year-olds around.
Amy RioloGUEST
And, um, and even their mentality is different because they know that they're obviously closer to transitioning, but it's, it's a different conversation.
