Monterosso

One of the five resorts that make up the Cinque Terra. Notable for the 14 meter tall Statua del Gigante which depicts a bearded giant emerging from the rocks overlooking the sea. It was created in 1910 by Italian sculptor Francesco Foccarino, at the behest of Marchese Goffredo Zeme, who wanted to decorate the garden of his villa with a monumental sculpture.
