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.

Roman mythology, which had also drawn many deities and myths from Greek mythology, possessed some native ones, including the goddess Liberty, who symbolically represented the personal freedom of each individual and, in the course of civil history, the right reserved for those who enjoyed Roman citizenship.

My home-cooked meat tartare

La mia tartare di carne gustata in casa

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 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.

Where is the fort located:

The archipelago is made up of two major islands, Madeira and Porto Santo, three smaller uninhabited islands, known as the Desertas, and two smaller islands, also uninhabited, called the Savage Islands. The largest island is Madeira. The archipelago, together with Cape Verde, the Azores and the Canaries, forms Macaronesia; the Azores and Madeira are part of Portugal, the Canaries are part of Spain and Cape Verde, once Portuguese, is now an independent republic.

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.

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.
