The Royal Gate in Finalborgo

La Porta Reale a Finalborgo

The Royal Gate in Finalborgo.
Although there are several entrances or gates to enter the ancient and splendid village of Finalborgo, the one called Royal is certainly the most beautiful and well-known.
Partly because of the frescoes on the outside, partly because there are the old walls and partly because you can glimpse, just behind the walls, the church and the bell tower of San Biagio.
A sight that welcomes you!

The town was developed in the Finalese hinterland, not directly on the sea to be more protected against possible Saracen landings on the coast, in an easily defensible place: the confluence of the Aquila torrent with the Pora torrent, whose riverbeds form a single natural moat, later reinforced by the city walls, which defended the town on the east-south-west sides, while the northern side of the town was naturally protected by the spur of the Becchignolo hill.

The beautiful village of Verici in Casarza Ligure

Il bel borgo di Verici a Casarza Ligure

The beautiful village of Verici in Casarza Ligure.
Behind Sestri Levante (but in the municipality of Casarza Ligure) there is the small but very beautiful village of Verici.
A few villas and a few alleys make up this small town (which is actually called Bruschi).
I was there a few weeks ago along the path that goes from Villa Tassani down to Santa Margherita di Fossa Lupara, very pretty.

Arches in the village of Moneglia

Archi nel borgo di Moneglia

Arches in the village of Moneglia.
I think that in the last 15 years I had not been to Moneglia, even though it is the municipality that borders mine to the east and the last in the province of Genoa.
I was surprised by the alleys and carruggi that I found.
Like in this shot in which you can see two arches that join some houses in an alley in the center.
The yellow color of the facades then makes the view even more photogenic.

Do you know the edge of Moneglia?

Videos recorded with Gopro Hero 10 Black.

The ancient toponym of Moneglia (ad Monilia) appears in the Tavola Peutingeriana, a copy of the military map of the Roman Empire (11th – 12th century) preserved in the Austrian National Library in Vienna, discovered by the antiquarian of Augsburg, Corrado Peutinger, in the sixteenth century.

Un vicolo del bel borgo ligure di Lerici

Un vicolo del borgo di Lerici

Un vicolo del bel borgo ligure di Lerici.
Questo splendido borgo dell’estremo Levante Ligure ha tra le strette creuze che portano al castello un dedalo nel quale fa proprio piacere perdersi.
Nonostante la giornata non fosse molto soleggiata i colori tipici delle case marinare liguri ed i mattoni delle creuze regalano scorci veramente indimenticabili!

It was with the Republic of Genoa that Lerici began to assume a more important role.
After having purchased Porto Venere and made it a strategic base for the control of the gulf of La Spezia, Genoa also came into possession of Lerici, negotiating with the Lords of Vezzano and Arcola, who were the feudal lords of the locality.

The view of the Sassi of Matera

La vista sui Sassi di Matera

The view of the Sassi of Matera.
If you come to Matera you cannot help but photograph the landscape that can be seen from one of the many terraces and or belvederes that are there.
One of the strong points of the city is that having been formed (excuse the term) along the Sassi, that is, along the typical limestone valleys, they can be observed well from many points up high.

The small port of Tellaro, a splendid seaside village

Il porticciolo di Tellaro, splendido borgo marinaro

The small port of Tellaro, a splendid seaside village.
First time in my life that I have been able to visit the village of Tellaro, pearl of the Gulf of Poets, in the La Spezia area.
Its small port seen almost from the sea (from the small dock I believe for summer boats) has little to envy to other more famous ones in Liguria and Italy.
It is no coincidence that it is part of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.

Tellaro is the easternmost hamlet of the municipality of Lerici, in the province of La Spezia. It has been reviewed as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
The town is a small seaside village, perched on a cliff overlooking the Gulf of La Spezia. A destination for many Italian and foreign artists, Mario Soldati found a home here during the long years of his old age.

Santa Maria del Taro

Santa Maria del Taro

Santa Maria del Taro.
Dopo una bella giornata a fare il giro delle tre province (noi chiamiamo così la gita che da Sestri Levante va a Varese Ligure, passa dal passo di Centocroci e da Tornolo e dal passo del Bocco ritorna a Chiavari) Genova, La Spezia e Parma sono passato dal piccolo borgo di Santa Maria presso il fiume Taro.
Devo dire la verità che non c’ero mai stato prima.
Potete vedere il Ponte dei Priori e il campanile del Santuario della Natività di Maria Vergine.

Santa Maria del Taro

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Canon EF-S 10-18.

Il centro abitato sorge a 6 km dal passo del Bocco, situato poco oltre il confine con la città metropolitana di Genova, e rappresenta la località abitata emiliana più prossima al mar Ligure; per questo motivo il dialetto, la cucina e l’architettura mostrano varie influenze liguri.

Manarola, una delle Cinque Terre

Manarola, una delle Cinque Terre

Manarola, una delle Cinque Terre.
Ultimo scatto della serie realizzata l’estate scorsa durante la mia camminata alle Cinque Terre.
Il borgo, che in moltissimi ormai conoscono già, si vede e fotografa benissimo dalla piccola passeggiata, a picco sul mare, che una volta collegava il paese a Corniglia lungo il mare (percorso ormai non più esistente).

Vicoletti di Genova Nervi

Vicoletti di Genova Nervi

Vicoletti di Genova Nervi.
In Liguria quasi ogni borgo è splendido e fotogenico.
Qualche mese fa sono stato a passeggiare nei parchi e lungo la passeggiata a mare di questo borgo genovese.
Essendoci il porticciolo le strade che dal mare vanno alle case sono le tipiche cerule liguri, di mattoni e pietre arrotondate.
Mi piaceva molto questo scorcio.
