The mission of Save Vernazza ONLUS (an Italian nonprofit organization) is to restore and preserve the town of Vernazza by raising funds for immediate reconstruction and long-term cultural and environmental projects for the benefit of Vernazza’s community of residents and visitors.
The town of Vernazza was destroyed by massive flooding and subsequent mud slides on October 25, 2011. As a result, Vernazza is buried under 4 meters (13 feet) of mud, rocks and debris. Save Vernazza ONLUS was founded by 4 expat American women who have lived in Vernazza for years, originally arriving as tourists from 6 to 16 years ago. We fell in love with the place and its’ people and relocated to create families, businesses and friendships in Vernazza. Our goal is to reach out to international communities to provide an easy, direct way of donating money which will be used for the restoration and preservation of Vernazza.
