66. Dolceacqua, Italy

A medieval village with a picturesque bridge. Besides tourism, olive-growing is a major component of the local economy. In Judaism, an olive is a unit for measuring volume. Consuming anything smaller is not considered eating, allowing a 'cheat' from normal kosher restrictions (and rabbinical Weight Watchers).
