The statue of the fisherman in Sestri Levante.
I think that in recent years the statue of the Fisherman has become the most photographed statue in my town: Sestri Levante.
Situated as it is in the Bay of Silence, right in front of the Ex Convento dell'Annunziata, it is often lashed by the waves that, fortunately, very rarely arrive too impetuously in this bay.

Sestri Levante stands on the alluvial plain of the Gromolo torrent, close to a rocky promontory, usually called “the island”, jutting out towards the sea and joined to the mainland by an isthmus which divides the “Baia delle Favole”, where the tourist port was built and whose name was given by the writer Hans Christian Andersen (who stayed in Sestri Levante in 1833), from the smaller but even more evocative “Baia del Silenzio”.
