The center of the village of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre.
Some time ago, in winter, I was in Vernazza and it was almost shocking to walk in such an uncrowded village.
Right in January and with the Sentiero Azzurro closed you can fully enjoy the village.
Do you know the Cinque Terre?

Where I took this photo:
Santo Stefano seen from the caruggio of Lavagna.
The caruggio and the Basilica of Santo Stefano are probably the two symbols of Lavagna and in these shots I tried to show you both.
Do you know Lavagna and its beautiful basilica?

Where is the basilica located:
The collegiate basilica of Santo Stefano is a Catholic place of worship in the municipality of Lavagna, in Piazza Guglielmo Marconi, in the metropolitan city of Genoa. The church is the seat of the parish of the same name of the vicariate of Chiavari-Lavagna of the diocese of Chiavari. In May 1921, Pope Benedict XV elevated it to the rank of minor basilica.

The alley of Chiavari and the plaque for Garibaldi.
One of the many shots of the views that I like to take when I walk in the alley of Chiavari.
In this case, from the portico, you can see this plaque (perhaps a gravestone) in memory of Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Since it is not possible to read what is written in this photo, I will transcribe it below:
Qui il 5 e 6 settembre 1849
Giuseppe Garibaldi

eroe dei Due Mondi

Alberto Puccio Di Antonio
La Società Economica

Considered by historiography and in the mass culture of the 20th century as the main Italian national hero, he began his travels around the world as an officer of merchant ships, and then became a long-distance captain. His most famous enterprise was the victorious expedition of the Thousand that led to the annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the nascent Kingdom of Italy, a central episode in the process of unification of the new nation.

Some commercial activities in the caruggio in Sestri Levante.
The part closest to the sea of the Sestrese caruggio hosts a myriad of commercial activities aimed at satisfying tourists: restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors, all of which work very hard when visitors fill our town.
Do you know Sestri Levante and its alleyway?

Where via Palestro meets the Caruggio in Sestri Levante.
Last winter I managed to take some photos in a rather deserted Sestri and I took the opportunity to take many shots in the historic center.
This is the point where via Palestro, the small street that leads to the Bay of Silence, meets via XXV Aprile, the Sestrese caruggio.
Do you know this spot in Sestri?

Here is the spot where I took this photo:
A glimpse into the historic center of Lavagna.
If I'm not mistaken, this alley, decidedly off the tourist trail of Lavagna and therefore more characteristic, is located just behind the caruggio.
To tell the truth, I was unable to find the name of the street afterwards.
Do you know the historic center of Lavagna?

Strolling through the splendid alleyway of Sestri Levante.
In winter, the period in which I took this photo, it is not that difficult to walk through the Sestrese alleyway and meet practically no one.
It is probably the best period to enjoy the centre of my town calmly and take some beautiful photos like this one.

The Mattarana alley with the church in the background
The small village of Materana, in the province of La Spezia, is crossed by the caruggio in its entirety and ends, as you can see in the photo, in the churchyard of the church of San Giovanni Battista.

Via del Prione ovvero il caruggio della Spezia.
The centre of La Spezia is crossed, for almost its entirety, by this pedestrian street called Via del Prione.
For us Ligurians this type of street is called caruggio (even if it is slightly wider than normal, the caruggi are just a little less bright); in other regions it is called via dello struscio or dello shopping.

If you want to see all the photos I took in the city click here:
The territory of La Spezia was already inhabited in prehistoric times, as evidenced by the numerous stele statues and the finds from the Bronze and Iron Ages found on various occasions on the heights of the Gulf and the adjacent valleys. Later, in historical times, the territory saw the settlement of the Ligurian populations, subdued in 155 BC by the consul Marco Claudio Marcello.

Via Vittorio Veneto in centro a Chiavari.
Il cantro di Chiavari è attraversato da una via rettilinea (caruggio) che è anche la via del passeggio.
Nella parte a Ponente si chiama via Martiri della Liberazione mentre nella parte a Levante si chiama via Vittorio Veneto (che poi volendo prosegue in Corso Dante).
Con il teleobiettivo si scattano foto che in questo caso ho volutamente reso un poco schiacciata ma era per cercare di coprire tutta la via in uno scatto solo.
