The wooden bridge of Flam in Norway

Il ponte in legno di Flam in Norvegia

The Flam Wooden Bridge in Norway.
Nestled in the majestic mountains of Norway, the picturesque village of Flam is famous not only for its breathtaking scenery but also for its charming wooden bridge. This bridge, which spans the Flam River, has become a local icon, a symbol of the connection between man and nature.
The Flam Wooden Bridge, with its elegant and rustic architecture, blends in perfectly with its surroundings. Its solid wooden beams rise towards the sky, while the interwoven railings create an artistic effect that captures the attention of anyone who passes over it. The choice of wood as the main material is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a tribute to the Norwegian building tradition, which has made wise use of natural resources for centuries.
In addition to its visual beauty, the Flam Bridge plays a fundamental role in the life of the local community. By connecting the two banks of the river, it facilitates the daily transit of residents and visitors, creating a tangible connection between people and the surrounding nature. The feeling of walking on this bridge is a unique experience, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Norway.
During the warmer seasons, the bridge becomes a meeting point for locals and tourists, offering a scenic space to admire the surrounding landscape. During the winter, however, the bridge takes on a different charm, with snow gently settling on the wooden beams, creating an enchanting picture.
The construction of the Flam wooden bridge is also an example of ecological engineering, with the aim of minimising the impact on the surrounding environment. The architects have cleverly integrated the bridge into the natural topography, avoiding disturbances and preserving the beauty of the place.

In conclusion, the Flam wooden bridge is much more than a simple crossing structure. It is a symbol of connection, union and respect for the environment. Crossing this bridge, you can experience a moment of quiet and contemplation, surrounded by the pristine beauty of Norway and the warmth of a community that values ​​its history and its natural environment.

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

A glimpse into the historic center of Lavagna.
If I'm not mistaken, this alley, decidedly off the tourist trail of Lavagna and therefore more characteristic, is located just behind the caruggio.
To tell the truth, I was unable to find the name of the street afterwards.

Strolling through the splendid alleyway of Sestri Levante.
In winter, the period in which I took this photo, it is not that difficult to walk through the Sestrese alleyway and meet practically no one.
It is probably the best period to enjoy the centre of my town calmly and take some beautiful photos like this one.

The plaque affixed under Porta dei Vacca in Genoa

The plaque affixed under Porta dei Vacca in Genoa.
Under Porta dei Vacca, one of the entrances to the historic center of Genoa (from which Via del Campo starts), I discovered and photographed this beautiful plaque thinking it was linked to the gate.
Searching further online I discovered that it is a plaque that refers to the battle that made Genoa triumph over Pisa and that it was placed where there were some chains from the defeated port.

Where exactly is the statue located:

In the spring of 1807, Minister Charles-Jean-Marie Alquier, French ambassador in Rome, by order of Prince Eugene de Beauharnais, viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy and stepson of Napoleon, commissioned Canova, for the sum of five thousand French louis, to make an exact bronze copy of the marble statue. The statue found a place only in 1859, when it was placed in the center of the courtyard of honor of the Brera Palace, on the occasion of Napoleon III's visit to Milan.
