A stroll through the caruggio of Sestri Levante in Liguria. More or less around this time, but last year, I took this beautiful photo of the caruggio (this is what the pedestrian street that crosses a village is called in Liguria) of my town, Sestri Levante. Almost deserted, just as many Sestresi like it.

Galata (or Galatae or Pera) is the historical core of Beyoğlu, a district of Istanbul, and is located in the northern part of the Golden Horn, the inlet that separates it from the historic city center. There are various theories on the origin of the name "Galata": it could be a contamination of the Italian term calata, archaism for scalo (arch. scala), or derive from gala, milk in Greek; the most probable derivation is however from the Celtic tribe of the Galatians who are believed to have settled in that place in the Hellenistic period: more precisely, a prince of Galatia would have settled there.

With a combination of historic and modern buildings, luxury boutiques, restaurants and cafes, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is a place that perfectly reflects the dynamism and elegance of Milan. Corso Vittorio Emanuele II has ancient origins, dating back to the Middle Ages, when it was known as Corsia dei Servi. Over the centuries, the street has undergone numerous transformations, adapting to the changes in the city. Its current name is a tribute to Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of Italy, and dates back to the end of the 19th century. During the Fascist period, the street was the subject of a large urban renewal project, aimed at modernizing the area and improving traffic flow. Some historic buildings were demolished to make way for new constructions in the rationalist style, but many historic elements were preserved, creating a fascinating mix of old and new. Today, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is best known as one of the main shopping streets in Milan. Some of the most prestigious fashion boutiques are located here, including high-end Italian and international brands. Department stores such as La Rinascente attract visitors with their wide selections of clothing, accessories and luxury products. The elegant shop windows and creative installations make the street a fascinating place to visit, not only for shopping, but also to admire the latest fashion trends. During sales periods, the street becomes even more lively, becoming a meeting point for shoppers and tourists. One of the most fascinating aspects of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is its eclectic architecture. The buildings along the street range from neoclassical to rationalist styles, creating a varied and interesting urban landscape. Among the most notable points of interest is the Palazzo del Corso, with its imposing façade and elegant decorations. Not far from the Corso, there is also the Teatro alla Scala, one of the most famous opera houses in the world, which attracts music and culture enthusiasts from all over the globe. The proximity of the Corso to Piazza del Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II makes this area even more attractive for visitors, who can enjoy a stroll through some of the most emblematic places in Milan. In addition to shopping, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II offers numerous opportunities for leisure and entertainment. The presence of cinemas, theatres and cafés makes the Corso a lively and dynamic place, ideal for spending a day or an evening in the city. Throughout the year, the street hosts various cultural events and demonstrations, helping to keep its lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere alive. One of the most popular meeting points is the Cinema Odeon, a multiplex cinema located in a historic building that offers a wide range of films, from the latest blockbusters to arthouse films.

A building in Piazza Giacomo Matteotti in Sestri Levante. In the Town Hall square of my town there is this beautiful building. Once, on the ground floor, it was the seat of a bank agency; now it houses a good restaurant.

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.

The final part of via Nazionale towards the centre of Sestri Levante. One of the busiest streets in my Sestri is definitely via Nazionale. In addition to crossing practically the entire town of Sestri longitudinally, it is the street that hosts the greatest number of businesses and shops. This is its final part, one-way, just before the roundabout of Piazza Sant’Antonio.

A beautiful villa in Corso Buenos Aires in Lavagna. Corso Buenos Aires, in Lavagna, is that long tree-lined avenue that goes from the center to Entella and Chiavari. It hosts the most beautiful houses and villas in the Tigullian city. Like this beautiful building, whose name I don't know, however. In the next few months I will post many others that I have recently photographed.
