The porticoes and the Basilica of Santo Stefano in via XX

I portici e la Basilica di Santo Stefano in via XX a Genova

The porticos and the Basilica of Santo Stefano on Via XX in Genoa.
Via XX Settembre, one of the main arteries of Genoa, is famous for its elegant porticos and the historic Basilica of Santo Stefano. This place is a meeting point between modern architecture and the centuries-old history of the city.
The porticos of Via XX Settembre are a symbol of elegance and functionality. Built in the 19th century, the porticos provide shelter and shade to pedestrians, allowing them to stroll along the street in any weather condition. The imposing columns and neoclassical arches create an atmosphere of grandeur and refinement. Under the porticos, there are luxury boutiques, cafés and historic shops that add to the charm of this iconic street.
Located in the heart of Via XX Settembre, the Basilica of Santo Stefano is an architectural jewel that dates back to the 5th century. The church is a remarkable example of Genoese Romanesque architecture, with its simple yet elegant façade and interior rich in history and art.
The basilica was built on the ruins of an older church and has undergone numerous modifications and restorations over the centuries. The current structure, with its single nave and side chapels, still retains elements of the original Romanesque style. Inside, you can admire frescoes, sculptures and works of sacred art that tell the religious and cultural history of Genoa.
Via XX Settembre and the Basilica of Santo Stefano represent a meeting point between the past and the present of Genoa. The arcades, with their timeless elegance, and the basilica, with its thousand-year history, offer visitors a unique experience of discovery and contemplation.
Walking under the arcades of Via XX Settembre and visiting the Basilica of Santo Stefano is a journey through the history, art and culture of Genoa. These emblematic places are a must for anyone who wants to discover the beating heart of the city.

I really like taking photos in the area of ​​the Basilica of Santo Stefano in Lavagna. In addition to the splendid churchyard (which I have photographed many times) and the beautiful Brignardello portico, in this shot I photographed the street that passes through the square, via Dante Alighieri, from the terrace that is built above the portico itself.
A new point of view!

The material available in different areas has influenced in the past the laying techniques and the possibility of also creating decorations, based on the shapes and colors of the available stone elements. In the alluvial plains, rounded pebbles taken from riverbeds are preferred; near the sea, pebbles with a lenticular morphology, taken from the beaches, are preferred; in the mountains, elongated pebbles from streams.

Uno dei luoghi più fotografati di Lavagna è sicuramente il sagrato della chiesa più grande della città: Santo Stefano.
Da due lati ci sono le case mentre sul lato destro c’è questo bel e grande loggiato da cui si può accedere al cimitero monumentale.
Particolarità è che si può salire sul tetto del portico e scattare foto da una prospettiva insolita.
