Benedetto Brin (Turin, 17 May 1833 – Rome, 24 May 1898) was an Italian engineer, admiral and politician. Having entered service in the Sardinian Navy in 1853 as an officer of the Naval Engineering Corps, in 1864 he published an article in which he demonstrated the inevitability of the transition to armoured ships, thus finding himself on the same line as Simone Pacoret de Saint-Bon.

The alleyway of the village of Sestri Levante in Liguria. When I'm at home, almost every morning, I go downtown for a walk and a coffee. I like to take a walk when there are few people and this happens especially in winter. When sunny days happen, like the one on the day I took this photo, it is one of my favorite subjects for shots.

The alley called the button in the historic center of Sestri Levante. In the picturesque historic center of Sestri Levante, a small and charming passage is known as the Vico del Bottone. This narrow alley, rich in history and character, offers an authentic glimpse into the life and traditions of this charming Ligurian town. The Vico del Bottone probably owes its name to a local legend or perhaps to an old button shop that once stood here. Craftsmen's workshops were common in the narrow alleys of Italian cities, and this small shop may have served both locals and passing sailors. Over time, the name "Vico del Bottone" has become a testimony to the daily life and economic activities that characterized the Sestri Levante of the past. The Vico del Bottone is a perfect example of traditional Ligurian architecture. Its narrow walls, pastel-colored facades and flower-filled balconies create an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The solid wooden arches and doorways tell stories of times gone by, while details such as slate doorposts give the alley a touch of romance and mystery. Walking through Vico del Bottone, you can admire the simple yet charming beauty of the historic houses, many of which date back centuries and one in particular called Casa delle Viti covered with an imposing vine plant (seen in the photo). The narrow streets invite visitors to slow down and enjoy the quiet pace of life in a Ligurian town. Despite its central location, Vico del Bottone remains a place of peace and tranquility. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets, this hidden corner offers a perfect refuge for those seeking a moment of serenity. Here, you can find a bench to sit and reflect, enjoying the beauty and calm of the alley. Visiting Vico del Bottone is like stepping back in time. This small but precious corner of Sestri Levante offers a unique perspective on the history and daily life of the city. It is a place where the past meets the present, and where every stone tells a story. In conclusion, Vico del Bottone is one of the many hidden gems of Sestri Levante, a place that deserves to be discovered and appreciated for its beauty and timeless charm. Walking through this alley, you can breathe the authentic Ligurian atmosphere and discover a piece of the history of this enchanting coastal town.

The vegetable gardens towards via dei Cachi in Sestri Levante. When I was a kid this part of Sestri was called the Mulinetti area (who knows why?!) and it was a huge clearing, in beaten earth, which was used for various needs: parking, the circus, concerts… At the end of this clearing there were, and still are, these vegetable gardens that flank the road that is called via dei cachi. It's just a shame that when I took this photo the sun was shining against it.
