La spiaggia di Renà con lo scoglio dell’Asseu a Riva Trigoso.
Una spiaggetta molto carina all’estremo Levante del comune di Sestri Levante appena prima delle gallerie per andare a Moneglia.
Sabbia e ciotoli (più si va a Levante e più grosse sono le pietre), lettini ed ombrelloni se volete, ed un baretto molto carino in cui fare un ottimo aperitivo!

Un bel piatto di pasta aglio, olio e peperoncino e con i gamberi.
Qualche tempo fa, un mio amico chef, mi ha fatto assaggiare questo piatto di pasta che unisce due preparazioni che non avevo mai provato prima: la pasta aglio, olio e peperoncino con l’aggiunta di alcuni gamberi.
Devo dire che, nella sua semplicità, è stato un piatto veramente delizioso e che sicuramente riproverò a preparare a casa mia.

The beautiful alley of Sestri Levante, pearl of Liguria
One of the classic photos of Sestri, besides obviously the wonderful Baia del Silenzio, is the typical caruggio (the pedestrian street so typical of Ligurian villages) with its colorful houses with shops on the ground floor.

The Arch of Constantine: one of the most famous monuments in Rome.
The Arch of Constantine, located near the Colosseum, is one of the most famous and best preserved monuments of ancient Rome. Built in 315 AD, the arch was erected to celebrate the victory of Emperor Constantine I in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge (312 AD), which marked his triumph over Maxentius and the consolidation of his power.
The arch is approximately 21 meters high and has three arches (fornices): a larger central one and two smaller lateral ones. Its decoration is an example of artistic syncretism, as it incorporates reliefs from monuments of previous eras, probably to underline the continuity of imperial authority. Some of the reliefs were taken from monuments of Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, adapted and inserted into the context of Constantine's triumph.
The importance of the arch lies not only in its artistic value, but also in its historical significance. Constantine's victory was decisive for the spread of Christianity, since, according to tradition, the emperor attributed his success to divine intervention. A few years later, with the Edict of Milan (313 AD), Constantine guaranteed freedom of worship to Christians, marking a fundamental turning point in the history of the empire and of Christianity itself.
Today, the Arch of Constantine is one of the most visited monuments in Rome, a silent witness to the greatness and change of the Roman Empire.

The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch with three arches (with a central passage flanked by two smaller lateral passages), located in Rome, a short distance from the Colosseum. In addition to its considerable historical importance as a monument, the Arch can be considered as a true museum of official Roman sculpture, extraordinary in its richness and importance.

Una bella ninfea fotografata in un tempio in Vietnam.
Qualche mese fa sono stato in Vietnam e, in visita ad uno dei tanti templi del paese, ho fotografato questo bel fiore in un vaso.
Era il tempio Ngoc Hoa Monastic nella regione di Qui Nhon.

L’infiorescenza è formata da grandi fiori natanti generalmente solitari. La lunghezza del peduncolo, a sezione rotonda, è in funzione della profondità dell’acqua. Normalmente i fiori durano a lungo e si aprono durante il giorno solo a cielo sereno.

The view of Genoa at sunset from Spianata Castelletto.
I always like to pass by Spianata Castelletto to photograph Genoa from above.
I really like this photo, which I took several months ago, for the colors of the sunset hour.

Un piccolo leudo con l’Ex Convento dell’Annunziata di Sestri sullo sfondo.
Come spesso faccio fotografo sempre la Baia del Silenzio e cerco sempre di trovare qualche particolare con differente luce o elementi.
In questo caso c’era una bella barchetta (che nel titolo chiamo leudo anche se non sono proprio sicuro che lo sia) con sullo sfondo il bel Ex Convento dell’Annunziata.
Update: come mi suggeriscono nei commenti dovrebbe essere un gozzo rivanetto!

I ravioli al ragù dell’Albergo Ristorante la Veranda a Tavarone.
Qulche settimana fa, su invito di un visitatore, sono stato ad assaggiare i ravioli al ragù (in genovese i raieu au tuccu) a Tavarone, un piccolo paese in Val di Vara (nell’entroterra di Sestri Levante e Casarza Ligure).
Ho scoperto dei ravioli proprio buoni tanto che li metto al terzo posto della mia speciale classifica dei ravioli!
Assolutamente da non perdere!
Solo un suggerimento: prenotate perchè gli orari ed i posti sono limitati!
Go see my article with my personal ranking of the restaurants where I ate the best ravioli al ragù in the Province of Genoa di Levante.

Dove si trova:
Ligurian cuisine is made up of dishes from the culinary tradition of Liguria, a region that uses ingredients linked both to local production (such as preboggion, a mixture of wild herbs) and to imports from areas with which Ligurians have had frequent contact over the centuries (such as Sardinian pecorino, one of the ingredients of pesto).
A poor cuisine, typical of country people, mountaineers and sailors, made of simple, common and cheap foods, which has however become expensive, refined and full of ancient glories.

Dream beaches: Ky Co Beach in Vietnam.
A few months ago, when I was in Vietnam at my wife's house, I managed to spend a few days in an area of beautiful beaches, the most famous of which was definitely Ky Co Beach.
Golden sand and transparent water!
And also lots of tourists (Vietnamese and Chinese).

La Baia del Silenzio di Sestri Levante fotografata da dentro l’acqua.
Qualche settimana fa, mentre ero ancora a casa, ho scattato diverse foto della Baia confla mia Gopro ed il Dome (quell’oggetto simile ad una bolla che permette di scattare le foto metà dentro e metà fuori l’acqua).
Dopo diversi tentativi mi sembra che i risultati inizino ad essere abbastanza soddisfacenti non credete?
Questa è la zona tra scogli e posidonia appena attorno alla statua del pescatore.
