A nice plate of pansoti with walnut sauce even on board. When I'm on a ship, even if the food is very varied, I really miss home food. So when I go to Savona or Genoa I always ask my wife to bring me something from home. In this case I had asked for pansoti (the packaged but very good ones from the pasta factory Novella) to season with walnut sauce (this one prepared on board). The result, as you can see for yourself, was excellent!

Pansoti, pansòti in Ligurian, (from the Ligurian pansa, in Italian “belly”), are a typical stuffed pasta of Ligurian cuisine, similar to ravioli, from which they differ essentially in size and the absence of meat in the filling. Pansoti with walnut sauce (pansöti co-a sarsa de noxe) are one of the cheapest and most characteristic dishes of the Genoese tradition. Since pansoti do not contain meat, they are a lean dish, once considered suitable for the penitential period of Lent. They are often mistakenly also called “pansòtti”, as in some Ligurian provinces there is verbal emphasis on the last syllables; the double letter is therefore to be attributed to an exclusively vocal language.

Here is where the village is located:
In the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance it had its best period, characterized by extraordinary trade that favored its economic prosperity (it was called "the dry port"), still testified today by the numerous buildings in the historic center, worthy of appearing in much larger cities, and the economic growth was accompanied by lively cultural and social activity. Already in 1469, to favor the circulation of money a Jewish banker was called, one of the few professions to which those men were authorized, and despite this he was persecuted and later one of the very first Monti di Pietà was erected, followed later by the Monte Frumentario and various other charitable and welfare institutions.

The tower overlooking the Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante. The Bay of Silence is famous for its colorful houses overlooking the sea and just a few meters from the water. One of these buildings, which I called a tower in the title due to its structure, always fascinates me, especially for the view from the glass window on the top floor. Unfortunately, I have only enjoyed the view from someone else's shots, but I hope that one day someone will invite me up there.

Pansoti and ravioli of the Ligurian tradition on Sunday. Last Sunday I went, with my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, to eat at the trattoria Ou Settembrin in Carasco.

The view of Genoa and the bell tower of S. Maria delle Vigne. Genoa, with its unique charm and its thousand-year history, offers breathtaking views that capture the essence of the city. Among the most suggestive panoramic points, the Spianata Castelletto stands out for its beauty and historical importance. Genoa is a vertical city, built between the sea and the hills, which offers numerous panoramic points from which to admire its beauty. The Spianata Castelletto is a balcony suspended over the historic center, from which you can enjoy a romantic view of the slate roofs, the port and the sea. This panoramic point is particularly appreciated for its ability to offer a complete and suggestive view of the city, making it an ideal place to take photographs and enjoy moments of tranquility. The Basilica of Santa Maria delle Vigne is one of the oldest churches in Genoa, located in the Maddalena district. Built in the 10th century, the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and represents an important Marian sanctuary. The bell tower, dating back to the Romanesque period, is the only original structure that remained after the transformations that took place in the following centuries. The church of Santa Maria delle Vigne was built on a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, built in the 6th century. The bell tower, with its Romanesque structure, is a symbol of the history and spirituality of Genoa. The basilica has been expanded and renovated over the centuries, with significant interventions in the 13th and 18th centuries. The bell tower of Santa Maria delle Vigne, with its central position and its height, offers a privileged view of the city. By climbing the tower, you can admire Genoa from above, with its narrow streets, historic buildings and the port. It is an ideal place to reflect on the history and beauty of this unique city.

Having the opportunity to go to Quy Nhon (Binh Dinh, Vietnam) on vacation and visit a dear friend of mine, she took my husband to eat at Sau Cao restaurant, one of the famous and historical restaurants in Quy Nhon. Sau Cao restaurant has a very large space with many dining tables, but the service is very fast and the dishes are different. Since we were only 3 people, we ordered a very simple menu. We ordered dishes such as: grilled chicken served with sticky rice, steamed shrimp with onions, Duong Chau fried rice… for a quick lunch. For grilled chicken: I find that since it is free-range chicken, the meat is moderately soft and chewy, the chicken is not too small, and the grilled spices taste delicious. The fried sticky rice served with it is also very delicious. With the steamed shrimp with onion dish, in our opinion, the shrimp is fresh and boiled, not dry, retains the sweetness of seafood, has the fragrant aroma of onions, and is very delicious when served with fried rice and soy sauce (soy sauce)… Although the restaurant is large, the service is fast and the dishes are simple like family ones but still retain their freshness. If we have the opportunity to return to Quy Nhon, we will come back to enjoy the other dishes on the restaurant menu. This chicken and shrimp:
Thi Anh Dao Truong: Ăn uống tại Quy Nhơn Có dịp được ra Quy Nhơn (Bình Định, Việt Nam) chơi thăm quan đồng thời thăm một người bạn thân của tôi, cô ấy đã đưa 2 vợ chồng tôi đi ăn quán ăn Sáu Cao 1, một trong những quán ăn có tiếng và lâu đời ở Quy Nhơn. Quán Sáu Cao 1 có không gian rất rộng lớn với rất nhiều bàn ăn, tuy vậy phục vụ rất nhanh, các món ăn đa dạng. Vì chỉ đi có 3 người nên chúng tôi gọi 1 thực đơn rất đơn giản. Chúng tôi đã gọi các món như là: gà nướng ăn kèm cùng với xôi, tôm hấp hành, cơm chiên dương châu…cho một buổi ăn trưa nhanh gọn. Đối với món gà nướng: tôi thấy rằng vì là Gà thả vườn nên thịt ăn có độ mềm và dai vừa phải, thịt gà cũng không quá nhỏ, gia vị nướng ăn ngon vừa miệng. Xôi chiên ăn kèm cũng rất ngon. Với món tôm hấp hành thì theo cảm nhận của chúng tôi là tôm tươi và luộc không bị khô, giữ được độ ngọt của hải sản, có mùi thơm của hành hoà quyện, ăn kèm với cơm chiên và xì dầu (nước tương) rất vừa miệng… Quán tuy lớn nhưng phục vụ nhanh lẹ và các món ăn đơn giản như bữa cơm gia đình nhưng vẫn giữ được độ tươi ngon. Nếu có dịp trở lại Quy Nhơn, chúng tôi sẽ quay lại để thưởng thức các món khác trong menu của quán.

The beautiful Vernazza in the Cinque Terre seen from above. A few months ago I walked the beautiful path that goes from Monterosso to Vernazza passing from above. Very beautiful path, slightly difficult, but when you are about to arrive at the beautiful village of Vernazza it offers an unparalleled view.

The village, which grew along the Vernazzola stream (now covered) which constitutes its central artery, has an exceptionally intact urban fabric, divided into a series of alleys and steep stairways. Above the town of Vernazza, at an altitude of 325 meters above sea level, is the sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Reggio. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

The beautiful Castello Brown overlooking the village of Portofino. Situated in a panoramic position above the port of Portofino, Castello Brown is a place rich in history and charm. Originally known as Castello di San Giorgio, this military fortress dates back to the Middle Ages, when the Genoese built it to defend the Gulf of Portofino. Over the centuries, the castle has undergone numerous renovations and extensions. One of the most important figures in the history of the castle is Montague Yeats Brown, the English consul in Genoa, who purchased the fortress in 1867. Brown transformed the castle into a private residence, even planting the two famous pine trees on the main terrace on his wedding day. After Brown's death in 1905, the castle passed to his descendants, who looked after it until 1949. It was then sold to the Baber family, who restored several ruined sections. In 1961, the Municipality of Portofino purchased the castle and opened it to the public, using it to host public and private events. Today, Castello Brown is one of Portofino's main attractions, offering breathtaking views of the village and the Gulf of Tigullio. The castle's lush terrace juts out vertically above the village, offering a unique and spectacular view. The castle is surrounded by a Mediterranean garden full of cypress trees, flowers and pergolas, creating an enchanting and relaxing atmosphere. Castello Brown is not only a place of great natural beauty, but also an ideal location for special events such as weddings, art exhibitions and conferences. Thanks to its privileged location and impeccable organization, the castle continues to be a symbol of elegance and history in Portofino. If you find yourself in Portofino, a visit to Castello Brown is an unmissable experience. Not only will you be able to admire its historic architecture and gardens, but you will also enjoy a panoramic view that will leave you breathless.

Here's where the castle is located:
Brown Castle, previously called San Giorgio Castle, is a defensive building and noble residence located on the slopes of the Castle in Portofino, in Tigullio. The first official news about the current structure dates back to 1425 when Tomaso Fregoso, Doge of the Republic of Genoa until 1421, occupied the village of Portofino and its fortress in opposition to Filippo Maria Visconti, Duke of Milan. In 1430 it returned to being a dominion of Genoa thanks to Francesco Spinola di Ottobono. The castle, located in a strategic position because it had a wide view of the village and the Gulf of Tigullio, was repeatedly the object of continuous attempts at occupation and sieges until the early years of the 15th century.
