Il film Luca

Il film d’animazione Luca è ambientato a Portorosso. Portorosso non esiste davvero, è un paese di fantasia, ma si ispira alle famose Cinque Terre, cinque paesi che si trovano in Liguria.
 Portorosso
I cinque paesi sono Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola e Riomaggiore. Il nome Portorosso è ispirato a Monterosso, invece l’aspetto del paese, soprattutto la piazza, è molto simile a Vernazza.
