A glimpse of Via Cappuccini in Sestri Levante. The narrow streets that crowd the part of land that separates the two bays of Sestri Levante (the Bay of Silence and the Bay of Fairy Tales) form the historic center of my town. This street is the one I walk most often to go and admire the Bay of Silence.

The archivolt of via Tommaso Reggio in Genoa. A glimpse just behind the Genoese cathedral of San Lorenzo. From here you walk to reach the church of San Matteo. As I read on the internet, a small bridge created to quickly connect the different places of power in medieval Genoa.

The strategic street named after Tommaso Reggio, bishop of Ventimiglia and then of Genoa from 1892 to 1901, is home to important buildings linked to the power and intrigues of medieval Genoa. Here, in fact, are the sixteenth-century Palazzetto Criminale, the small bridge connecting the Palazzetto itself to the cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Torre del Popolo, the Loggia degli Abati, a perimeter wall of the Palazzo Ducale and the Museo Diocesano.

The alley of the Maina district in Sestri Levante. I love walking in the historic center of my town. This area, between the two bays, is called the Maina. This narrow alley, called via Vincenzo Cappellini, runs parallel to the sea and with piazza Marsala and the nearby vico Macelli can be said to be the most authentic part of the seaside village of Sestri. My grandfather was born in this street and I still remember the stories of my dad who, as a child, spent all his days at the seaside in the Bay of Silence and then came to eat with his grandparents who, in fact, lived in this street.

The most historic building on Via Cappellini is undoubtedly the Hotel Miramare, which was created from the transformation of the noble residence built in the 17th century by Duchess Placidia Spinola, wife of Carlo Doria. The Hotel Miramare – once managed by Vincenzo Cappellini, hence the street name. Continue and learn more on Effecimmobiliare

Garibaldi street in Genoa: a journey into the heart of history. Via Garibaldi, located in the heart of the historic center of Genoa, is one of the most fascinating and history-rich streets in the city. Also known as Strada Nuova, it was built between 1558 and 1583 at the behest of the Genoese aristocracy during the Renaissance. Originally called Strada Maggiore, it was renamed in honor of Giuseppe Garibaldi in 1882.
This street, 250 meters long and 7.5 meters wide, is famous for its magnificent palaces, many of which were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 2006. The Palazzi dei Rolli, as they are known, were residences of noble families who hosted dignitaries and illustrious visitors. Among the most famous palaces we find: Palazzo Rosso: decorated with frescoes by great Ligurian painters of the 17th century, it houses precious furnishings and art collections. Palazzo Bianco: here you can admire works by Caravaggio and other Italian and European artists. Palazzo Doria Tursi: seat of the Municipality of Genoa, it houses the famous violin of Paganini and other works of art of great value. Walking along Via Garibaldi, you can breathe the ancient beauty of Genoa through its decorated facades, the grand atriums, the gardens with fountains and nymphaeums. This street is not only an important historical testimony, but it is also a place where time seems to have stopped, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the cultural richness of the city. Via Garibaldi is much more than just a street; it is a journey into the past, a unique experience that allows you to discover the magnificence and history of Genoa. Whether you are passionate about architecture, history or art, a visit to this iconic street is a must for anyone in Genoa.

Where is the point, more or less, where I took the shot:
From the main square in the centre, five royal roads branched off, which connected – and still partly connect – the city of Perugia with Cortona (today the Via Cortonese overlaps with the Trasimeno state road), Orvieto (Via Marscianese), Gubbio (Via Eugubina), Città di Castello and the Via Flaminia (Foligno) which led from Rome to Ariminium (now Romagna).
