Cinque Terre poster

Cinque Terre poster is an original illustration. The harbour of Vernazza, with its boats moored in turquoise water and its multicoloured facades climbing the hillside, is one of those places that stays with you long after you have seen it. I wanted to capture that suspended moment. The morning light on the ochre and pink houses. The small boats rocking gently. The seagulls in the washed-blue sky. A Mediterranean that feels wilder, more vertical and more secret than elsewhere.

Vernazza is the only one of the five villages in Liguria to have a true natural harbour. This close bond between sea and stone is what I wanted to convey: life unfolding by the water, terraces beneath red parasols, washing drying between the windows. An image for those who, like me, have made the journey, or still dream of doing so.

Our Cinque Terre art print turns Vernazza into a warm, collectible wall print built on ochres, terracotta and pale stone.

Styling your Cinque Terre wall art

This vintage travel poster plays on ochres, terracotta and pale stone, easy to pair with an oak, black or white frame. Easy to frame, it slips into an existing scheme and adds a measured touch of colour. In a large format it holds a wall on its own. In a smaller size it joins a gallery wall.

Rather than a photo, it distils Cinque Terre Vernazza into a pared-back drawing that keeps the essentials: the village, the mood and the memory of the place. Giving this print means giving a piece of Italy to someone with roots or memories there.

Illustrated and printed in France

Marie Troff illustrated vintage Cinque Terre poster exclusively for Foliove; the travel poster Italy is printed in France, in Elne, at an Imprim'Vert-labelled workshop on 170 gsm matte art paper.

Cinque Terre Vernazza is part of the travel views illustrated by Marie Troff, a series to collect place by place.

Hanging Cinque Terre Vernazza at home carries the mood of the place into everyday life, whatever the season. It works above a sofa, a bed or a desk, and talks to natural materials: light wood, linen, rattan.

The illustration keeps what makes Cinque Terre Vernazza recognisable: the light, the lines of the village and the atmosphere of the destination. A ready-made gift for those who keep Cinque Terre Vernazza in a corner of their heart.

The ochres, terracotta and pale stone of this Cinque Terre poster sit easily in a travel-inspired and cosmopolitan interior as well as a contemporary one. Small formats slot into a composition; large formats become the centrepiece of a wall. Grouped with other Foliove prints, it builds a bright, coherent gallery wall with a travel-inspired and cosmopolitan feel.
