Immagini della mia splendida cittadina
The Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante in winter.
My town is very spoiled in summer but in winter, for its true lovers, it is even more beautiful.
It is almost always deserted and the colors are always spectacular, both in sunny and bad weather.

The hidden Vico Macelli in the center of Sestri Levante.
In the heart of the historic center of Sestri Levante, between the narrow streets and the ancient walls, lies the charming Vico Macelli. This small alley, often overlooked by tourists, hides a rich history and a unique charm that deserves to be discovered.
Vico Macelli takes its name from the old slaughterhouses that once stood in this area. Walking through the alley, you can almost hear the echoes of the activities of the past, when the butchers worked tirelessly to provide fresh meat to the inhabitants of the village. Today, the ancient structures have been transformed, but still retain traces of their past, visible in the stones and architecture that tell stories of a distant era.
Despite its central location, Vico Macelli offers an oasis of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. The stone houses, with their flower-filled balconies and colorful shutters, create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. It is the ideal place for a slow walk, where every corner can reveal a surprise, such as a small hidden garden or an ancient fountain.
The alley is also a point of reference for art lovers. Near Vico Macelli there is a space dedicated to the painter Dina Bellotti, who has left a significant mark on the local culture. Her works, exhibited in various points of the village, add an artistic touch that further enriches the experience of those who visit this area.
Visiting Vico Macelli means immersing yourself in the authenticity of Sestri Levante. It is a place where time seems to have stopped, allowing visitors to live a genuine and profound experience. Whether you are a history buff, an art lover or simply looking for a quiet corner, Vico Macelli will win you over with its discreet charm and timeless beauty.

Some commercial activities in the caruggio in Sestri Levante.
The part closest to the sea of the Sestrese caruggio hosts a myriad of commercial activities aimed at satisfying tourists: restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors, all of which work very hard when visitors fill our town.

Where via Palestro meets the Caruggio in Sestri Levante.
Last winter I managed to take some photos in a rather deserted Sestri and I took the opportunity to take many shots in the historic center.
This is the point where via Palestro, the small street that leads to the Bay of Silence, meets via XXV Aprile, the Sestrese caruggio.

The Galleria Spagnoli in Sestri Levante.
This short gallery, which connects via Vincenzo Fascie with viale Dante, has the name of one of the most well-known families in Sestri in the last century: the Spagnoli family.
To tell the truth, I know practically nothing about the gallery or the family and if anyone would like to add some information, as usual, it would be very welcome.

The Bay of Silence on February 29, 2024.
Last winter I was at home and I took the opportunity to, as they say, put hay in the barn for the months when I will be on the ship.
This was the bay of Portobello, known by all as the Bay of Silence, the renowned beach of my Sestri Levante.

Via Asilo Maria Teresa in Sestri Levante.
Via Asilo Maria Teresa is a street located in Sestri Levante, a picturesque town in the Liguria region of Italy. This street is home to several businesses and services.
This street is well located in the center of Sestri Levante, making it easily accessible and ideal for a stroll among shops and restaurants.
Via Asilo Maria Teresa is named after Asilo Maria Teresa, a historic educational institution located along this street. The kindergarten was founded to provide education and care to children in the local community. The name “Maria Teresa” is likely a tribute to a prominent figure, perhaps a benefactor or an important person linked to the history of the institution or the town.

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 Bay of Silence at night in July.
Last year, armed with a camera, I took some shots of the Bay at night.
I'm not exactly an expert on night shots but the subject makes the task easier for me.

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.
