Latin writing on the door of a villa in Rapallo

Latin writing on the door of a villa in Rapallo
Above the entrance to Villa Robilant, in Rapallo, there is this Latin phrase by Horace which says:

Non incedo per ignes suppositos cineri doloso (which means: You walk on burning coals hidden by deceptive ashes).

I don't quite understand the meaning but I think it's: be careful because under the deceptive ash, burning embers are hidden.

Scritta in latino sul portone di una villa a Rapallo

Considered one of the greatest poets of the ancient age, as well as a master of stylistic elegance and gifted with an unusual irony, he was able to face the political and civil vicissitudes of his time as a placid Epicurean lover of the pleasures of life, dictating what for many are still the canons of the ars vivendi.

I took a lot of photos in the town of Rapallo and you can find almost all of them in this page or by searching in the various article specific to the Ligurian city.
I refer you to the Rapallo tourist promotion website: hellorapallo.it. This is the official website of the town's municipality: comune.rapallo.ge.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
If you want to learn more about the history of the city of Rapallo I recommend: Ieri a Rapallo and Rapallo. La storia nei secoli. Tesori e tradizioni della città e del suo territorio. If instead you want to have a guide that talks about Liguria and Tigullio I invite you to read the guide: Genova e il Tigullio by Lonely Planet.
