The Cinque Terre, a group of five towns along the Italian Riviera, inspired the landscapes and settings in the hit Disney film Luca. Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore were the inspiration behind the fictional town of Portorosso in the film. From the pebbled beaches and the cobbled streets to the luxurious waters, it's easy to see the resemblance between fact and fiction.

This is because the film's director, Enrico Casarosa, grew up in the region and drew inspiration from his childhood visits to the Italian coast. For anyone who wants to be part of the Disney magic, the easiest way to reach the Cinque Terre is via Genoa - the region's capital city.
