Cinque Terre events: July 10–14, 2025 – A Week of books, music, and community spirit

From July 10 to 14, 2025, the Cinque Terre will come alive with culture, art, and solidarity. This week promises a truly unmissable series of events for those who love summer vibes, live music, and literary encounters under the stars. Whether you’re in Monterosso, Vernazza, or Manarola, there’s something special waiting for you each evening.

📖 A Sea of Books: Culture by the Water

On July 10, the charming Fishermen’s Wharf in Monterosso will host the opening night of the 9th edition of Un Mare di Libri, the literary festival that brings major Italian authors to the Cinque Terre. The opening guest will be Maurizio Mannoni, presenting his book “That Night in Saxa Rubra” at 9:30 PM.

Then, on July 11, the scene shifts to Vernazza, specifically to the scenic Calata Gente di Mare. Here, Marco Buticchiwill present his novel “The Son of the Storm” — again at 9:30 PM. These gatherings offer the perfect setting to reflect, listen, and let yourself be inspired by words and waves alike.

🎶 Acoustic Nights: Music Echoing Through Manarola

On July 12, head to Manarola for a truly atmospheric concert. The Acoustic Trio will fill the village’s narrow lanes with melodies, blending live music with the sunset. Starting at 9:30 PM, this event promises a soulful, immersive experience.

🚑 Solidarity in Monterosso: Volunteer Day

Finally, on July 13, we return to Monterosso for a meaningful event: the Volunteer Day, hosted by Croce Bianca (White Cross). This full-day celebration aims to raise funds for a new ambulance. Throughout the day, you can join in, support the cause, and enjoy activities that connect locals and visitors alike.
