Has anyone had experience flying in this area? Can I do it legally?
I am not sure of regulations in Italy.
Thank you for any info you can provide.

Hello and good day chainmon. Thank you for the inquiry. I will be posting a link where you can use to check if it is legal to fly at the Cinque Terre in Italy. I hope this can help you with the said matter. Thank you.

I am Italian, the law here, if you are found in crowded places of people is severe enough, fine and seizure of the drone! avoids the town with so many people and being too much in sight. Important instead fly under 70m

any night flight, forbidden! ... though...
