The beautiful alleyway of the city of Rapallo in Liguria.
The beautiful town of Rapallo has in its center, like practically all Ligurian villages, its beautiful straight alleyway (or carrugio or carruggio) where the most beautiful shops are located and people take a stroll up and down on non-summer afternoons.
Everyone calls it an alleyway but the correct toponym is via Giuseppe Mazzini.

Caruggio or Carruggio, (a word that in the “official spelling” of Genoese should be written (Caroggio and pronounced Caruggiu, because in Ligurian the O is pronounced U), is the term used to indicate a street or alley, even a portico, typical of Ligurian historic centers. The term derives from the Latin quadrivium, or from the more popular quadruvium.
