The boat slips from Vieste’s port as the harbor lights take the day’s last breath. Salted wind pushes the hull along high white cliffs where pines lean toward the water and tumble of rock meets glassy sea. You drift past the Pizzomunno monolith, its retailored silhouette catching the sinking sun, and small caves yawn at waterline, daring you to peer inside.
