The orange flower of Gazania

The orange flower of the Gazania.
My wife really likes to visit greenhouses and flower nurseries so every now and then we visit one that is close to us.
I, with my camera, always try to photograph the most beautiful flowers.
In this case perhaps these gazanias were not in their best shape but they still seemed like a beautiful flower to me.

The Victory Statue of Sestri Levante

La statua della Libertà di Sestri Levante

The statue of Victory in Sestri Levante.
On top of the school building in Piazza della Repubblica there is this beautiful statue representing Victory.
I liked this view with the statue peeking out between the houses.
I took the photo from under the arcades of Via Fascie, where the bank is, so to speak.

My home-cooked meat tartare

My home-made meat tartare.
One of my favorite meat dishes is definitely tartare. I personally prefer tartare to battuta because I like thinly sliced meat.
I found Piedmontese meat at a very good price in a supermarket near my home and I often take it home.
I prepare it half an hour before and season it the way I like it: lemon, oil, salt, pepper, onion (finely sliced), olives (finely sliced) and mustard (I don't add capers, which I don't like, or eggs). I stir it often and it's really delicious.

Do you like tartare? How do you season it?

The small village of Carpenissone in Liguria

Il piccolo borgo di Carpenissone in Liguria

The small village of Carpenissone in Liguria.
Some time ago I was in Carpenissone and while I was reaching the small village (maybe village is even too much) I took this beautiful photo immersed in the greenery of the trees.
To tell the truth I was there to taste the ravioli at the famous trattoria La Tagliola.

A glimpse of via Giuseppe Garibaldi in Sestri

Uno scorcio di via Giuseppe Garibaldi a Sestri Levante

A glimpse of via Giuseppe Garibaldi in Sestri Levante.
A small street, just behind the sea front, but truly characteristic and called (once) the “caruggiu de l’ou” because there were deposits of some metals, mainly sulphides in the form of pyrite and chalcopyrite, extracted in the nearby hinterland.

The Fountain of the Marine Genius in Piazza Colombo

La fontana del Genio Marino in piazza Colombo a Genova

The fountain of the Marine Genius in Piazza Colombo in Genoa.
In the very central Piazza Colombo there is this beautiful fountain (which was previously in front of the Royal Palace) restored quite recently.
The photo was taken coming from Via XX Settembre along Via Galata.

Have you ever seen this fountain?

Here's where the fountain is located:

The fountain was moved from Ponte Reale to Piazza Colombo in 1861 to embellish the new nineteenth-century square commissioned by the architect Resasco. Not only beauty but also utility since the barchile served as a watering place for horses and mules coming from the countryside that passed through loaded with vegetables towards the eastern market.
