Le foto della cittadina di Lavagna
A beautiful villa in Corso Buenos Aires in Lavagna.
Walking along the long tree-lined avenue that crosses Lavagna I photographed many of the beautiful houses and villas that populate it.
This, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful.

The skyscraper in Piazza Cordeviola in Lavagna.
This beautiful skyscraper stands out in the centre of the Tigullian city (which I read was built in 1961, 42 metres high and 12 floors, here), the first of the two skyscrapers, the more famous one.

A glimpse of the historic center of Lavagna.
Walking through the center of the beautiful town on the Gulf of Tigullio, I was, for the umpteenth time, to see and photograph the Torre del Borgo and the beautiful garden that lies in front of it.
This is the little violet that reaches it.

A glimpse of Via Dante Alighieri in Lavagna.
Hidden among the winding streets of the Ligurian coast, Lavagna is a gem rich in history and charm. At the heart of this enchanting town lies its historic center, a labyrinth of cobbled alleys and historic buildings that tell centuries-old stories. Walking through the historic center of Lavagna is a journey through time, an experience that blends past and present in a fascinating union.
The narrow cobbled alleys of the historic center of Lavagna are an invitation to get lost in the streets and discover hidden treasures. Along the medieval streets, there are historic buildings with fascinating architecture, with colorful facades that tell the story of different eras. The elegant Palazzo Franzoni and Palazzo Podestà are just two of the examples of architecture that can be admired as you venture through the cobbled streets.
In the center of the historic center stands the Basilica of Santo Stefano, an imposing sacred building with a thousand-year history. Founded in the 10th century, the basilica has undergone several interventions over the centuries, but has retained its sacred atmosphere intact. The frescoes, altars and sculptures inside the basilica narrate the religious and artistic history of the region.
Piazza Vittorio Veneto is the beating heart of the historic center of Lavagna. Surrounded by historic buildings, cozy cafes and traditional shops, this square is the ideal place to immerse yourself in the daily life of the city. With its characteristic central well, the square is surrounded by colorful buildings and flower-filled balconies that add a touch of romance to this charming space.
The historic center of Lavagna is much more than a simple collection of ancient buildings; it is a journey through the history, culture and timeless beauty of Liguria. With its cobbled streets and historic buildings, Lavagna offers a tangible testimony to the richness of its heritage. For anyone who wants to explore the authentic Ligurian spirit, the historic center of Lavagna is an essential stop, an unforgettable journey between the textures of the past and the vitality of the present.

The caruggio and the Basilica of Santo Stefano are probably the two symbols of Lavagna and in these shots I tried to show you both.

The churchyard of the church of Santo Stefano in Lavagna.
The village of Lavagna has its beautiful main church, Santo Stefano, with the splendid churchyard that I present to you in this post.
The church is framed by the colored houses on one side, the paving of rounded stones with green grass and (in the photo you can only see it minimally) the Brignardello portico.

A beautiful villa in Corso Buenos Aires in Lavagna.
Corso Buenos Aires, in Lavagna, is that long tree-lined avenue that goes from the center to Entella and Chiavari.
It hosts the most beautiful houses and villas in the Tigullian city.
Like this beautiful building, whose name I don't know, however.
In the next few months I will post many others that I have recently photographed.

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.

The arcades with black slate floors from Lavagna
The small village of Lavagna is famous throughout the world for the quality of its black stone, slate, which was quarried in the mountains behind it.
This “black gold” was also used extensively as decoration and as floor tiles.
As in this portico, located in via Dante Alighieri (near the Basilica of Santo Stefano), where the floor is covered with this polished stone.

Here is the spot where this porch is located:
Slate (also called Lavagna stone) is a metamorphic rock of sedimentary origin (Metamarna in pumpellyite-actinolite facies). It is a variety of calcareous-clayey schists easily divisible into thin, flat, light, impermeable and weather-resistant sheets, resulting from low-grade metamorphism of sedimentary rocks formed by the deposition of a very fine silt (marl) due to the erosion of ancient reliefs. Slate is a rock classified as soft or semi-hard. It is a compact stone, leaden-black in color and easily workable.
