L'edicola sopra un portone antico a Portovenere

A shrine dedicated to Mary above an ancient door in Portovenere.

The aedicule is a relatively small architectural structure, with the practical function of housing and protecting the element placed therein. The term derives from the Latin aedicula, diminutive of aedes (“temple”) and therefore with the original meaning of “small temple”. Originally it was a miniature temple, which housed the statue or the representation of a deity, and a typical example could be the domestic lararium.

One of the painted doors of Santa Maria Street in Funchal

Uno dei portoni dipinti di via Santa Maria a Funchal in Portogallo

One of the painted doors of Santa Maria street in Funchal, Portugal.
One of the last times I was in the town of Funchal, on the island of Madeira, by ship, I discovered this street in the old town by chance.
It is a special place where, in addition to finding many restaurants and bars, you can admire these doors (but not only those) painted in an artistic way.
The one in this photo, at number 1, represents the street itself.

The Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante on February 19, 2024.
Probably in winter, if you are lucky enough to be in this place on a nice day, there is no more beautiful place to take a short walk accompanied only by the relaxing sound of the waves that gently caress the beach of the Bay of Silence.

The tower of the facade of the market of Tenerife

La torre della facciata del mercato di Tenerife

The tower of the facade of the market of Tenerife.
For the first time since I have been sailing, last year I went to the market of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
As in almost all Spanish markets, in addition to being able to buy local products, you can also eat.
With some colleagues we then took a seat in one of the many fishmongers that cook fresh fish and seafood for you that you choose directly from the counter.
Exceptional!

A plate of spaghetti cacio e pepe enjoyed on board

A plate of spaghetti cacio e pepe enjoyed on board
A dish that I must say I appreciate very much, even though I have eaten it relatively little, is pasta cacio e pepe.
Even though the ingredients are very simple, it is not at all easy to prepare this type of pasta.
Everything must be cooked properly otherwise the cheese will string and clump together.
At home, after a couple of unsuccessful attempts, I found the right measurements, as did the chef on the ship who, the time I took these photos, had cooked an excellent dish!

To discover my recipe click here.

Cacio e pepe is a typical dish from Lazio. As the name suggests, the ingredients are very simple and include only black pepper, pecorino romano cheese and pasta. The most traditionally used type of pasta is tonnarello. Like other dishes of Lazio cuisine, it is prepared with simple ingredients, easily available and with a long shelf life (during the transhumance it was not easy to get food). It has its roots in the cuisine of farmers and shepherds of the Roman countryside.

Via del Prione or the alleyway of La Spezia

Via del Prione ovvero il caruggio della Spezia.
The centre of La Spezia is crossed, for almost its entirety, by this pedestrian street called Via del Prione.
For us Ligurians this type of street is called caruggio (even if it is slightly wider than normal, the caruggi are just a little less bright); in other regions it is called via dello struscio or dello shopping.

The territory of La Spezia was already inhabited in prehistoric times, as evidenced by the numerous stele statues and the finds from the Bronze and Iron Ages found on various occasions on the heights of the Gulf and the adjacent valleys. Later, in historical times, the territory saw the settlement of the Ligurian populations, subdued in 155 BC by the consul Marco Claudio Marcello.

The Passion façade was begun in 1954 according to the drawings and explanations that Gaudí had left. The towers were finished in 1976 and since then work has been carried out on the sculptural decoration. Gaudí designed this façade while recovering from Malta fever in Puigcerdà in 1911. Dedicated to the Passion of Jesus, it aims to reflect the suffering of Christ in his crucifixion, as a ransom for the sins of men.
