The mysterious megalithic face of Borzone in Liguria

The mysterious megalithic face of Borzone in Liguria.
For a long time I had been meaning to go and see this prehistoric monument which is not far from where I live (Sestri Levante).
With a friend, a few months ago now, we seized the opportunity and on a sunny Saturday afternoon in November we went to see the splendid Borzone Abbey and from there, following the short path (about 6 kilometres there and back) indicated, you reach the beautiful monolith.
I took several photos but I tell you: the images do not do as well as the real thing.

Have you ever heard of this monument?

If you want to learn more about the history of the face, I invite you to go to this page: abbaziaborzone.it.

Here's where the face is:

Given the lack of systematic studies on the find, its dating is still the subject of various hypotheses. The first ones date it back to between the Upper Paleolithic (between 20,000 and 12,000 years ago) and the Neolithic (between 10,000 and 3,500 years ago), in the wake of anthropomorphic menhirs such as those of Carnac.

Margherita pizza from Dal Presidente pizzeria in Naples

Pizza margherita Dal Presidente a Napoli

Margherita pizza from the Dal Presidente pizzeria in Naples.
The pizza eaten in Naples, almost everywhere, is a masterpiece!
This was definitely the best I tasted in my last weekend in Naples. The margherita pizza (which then with the suggestion of the very nice waitress, became with buffalo mozzarella) of the Dal Presidente pizzeria in via dei Tribunali.
In addition to the pizza, and only for that you have to go there, the warmth of the place and the many testimonies of famous people who have eaten pizza there (the most famous is certainly Bill Clinton former American President).
I have not found an official website, I leave you the review of Tripadvisor and the page Facebook.

Neapolitan pizza, with a soft and thin dough, but with high edges, is the version of the round pizza prepared in the city of Naples. It is considered, on a global scale, as the Italian pizza par excellence. Since 5 February 2010 it has been officially recognized as a Traditional Specialty Guaranteed by the European Union and in 2017 the art of the Neapolitan pizza maker, of which Neapolitan pizza is a tangible product, was declared by UNESCO as an intangible heritage of humanity.

The beautiful and elegant Villa Garibalda in the center of Rapallo.
When you walk along the alley of Rapallo you arrive in this beautiful square, Piazza Giovanni da Vico, which is bordered towards the sea by this beautiful white-gray building that is found in several buildings in Liguria.
In reality this is the back of Villa or Casa Garibalda.

Have you ever been to Rapallo and have you ever seen this building? If you know something more about this building add a comment comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Canon EF-S 10-18.

Here's where exactly I took the photo:

Until the 1990s and 2000s it was in a state of semi-abandonment, but thanks to the restoration of its particular façade and interiors, it has returned to its former splendor with the opening, among other things, of a bar and restaurant on the lower floors.

Le Alpi Apuane viste dal Monte Groppi

Le Alpi Apuane viste dal Monte Groppi.
Come vi ho già scritto qualche tempo fa dalla cima del Monte Groppi, una delle montagne che sovrastano il Passo del Bracco (la strata che dalla mia Sestri Levante porta fino a La Spezia), si può godere di una vista quasi a 360 gradi.
Volgendo lo sguardo ad Est si vedono ì, molto bene, le Alpi Apuane.
Le avrete riconosciute tutti, vero?

Per vedere tutte le foto che ho scattato lungo il sentiero, clicca here:

L’aggettivo “apuane” è legato alla popolazione dei Liguri Apuani, i quali popolavano una parte dell’Appennino ligure e tosco-emiliano e le Alpi Apuane nell’epoca dell’Italia preromana. Strabone li chiamava Lunae montes, cioè “monti della luna”, Dante Alighieri Monti di Luni, antica città romana in provincia di La Spezia.

The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of San Luca in Bologna

Il santuario della Beata Vergine di San Luca a Bologna

The sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of San Luca in Bologna.
One of the symbols of Bologna is the Portico Devozionale that leads to the sanctuary of San Luca which, in addition to the portico itself, is a very pretty baroque-style church.
Here I tried to photograph the entire facade with the side porticos and I think it came out a nice shot.

There is also the official website: santuariodisanluca.it.

The splendid Borzone Abbey near Borzonasca

La splendida Abbazia di Borzone nel comune di Borzonasca

The splendid Borzone Abbey in the municipality of Borzonasca.
Immersed in the greenery of the hills and mountains that slowly reach important peaks, the splendid church dedicated to Saint Andrew the Apostle is a little gem.
I came here to walk the path that leads from the abbey to the Megalithic Face (an enormous and very mysterious rock on whose surface a human face has been carved) and, if you want, to the abandoned church of San Martino di Licciorno.

A historical-legendary peculiarity is that the abbey is located on the Sacred Line of Saint Michael, an imaginary straight connection between various monasteries in Europe.

Have you ever seen the abbey?
