The Latin inscription on a door in Via del Campo.
Walking along the famous Via del Campo, in the historic center of Genoa, I found this beautiful door with an inscription in Latin:
NOT OMNIA – SED BONA ED BENE
Meaning: Not everything, but good and (done) well.

Una delle gallerie del Parco Guell a Barcellona.
Era moltissimo tempo che volevo visitare questa famosa attrazione di Barcellona e finalmente, lo scorso anno, sono riuscito ad andarvi.
Quello che impressiona, sono le forme che l’architetto Antoni Gaudì ha ideato e applicato in questo visionario progetto architettonico.
Come in questa galleria dalle forme arrotondate che ricordano tanto un’onda del mare.

Uno scorcio dai portici di via XX a Genova.
Passeggiando in centro a Zena rimango sempre affascinato dai portici bicolori che aprono lo sguardo sui be palazzi che si affaccoano sulla via.
Tutte le volte scatto molte foto che poi, piano piano, centellino qui sul sito!

The columns of the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum
The Temple of Saturn (Latin: Templum Saturni) was an ancient Roman temple dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture and wealth. It was located at the foot of the Capitoline Hill, in the western part of the Roman Forum. Its construction dates back to the 5th century BC, but the building we see today dates mainly from the period of the Roman Republic, with some modifications made over the following centuries.
The temple was known for its rich decoration and the famous statue of Saturn inside. The statue of Saturn was traditionally tied and during the Saturnalia festival, which took place in December, the rope was symbolically loosened to represent the release of restrictions.
The current structure of the temple is very partial, with only some remains of the columns and foundations. However, some original columns are still standing, giving an idea of the size and elegance of the building. The ancient part of the Temple of Saturn has been integrated with some later reconstructions, and the exact appearance of the temple has been the subject of debate among archaeologists.
Il Foro Romano, in cui si trova il Tempio di Saturno, è una delle zone archeologiche più importanti e visitate di Roma, offrendo ai visitatori una visione affascinante della vita nella Roma antica attraverso i suoi templi, basiliche, e strutture pubbliche.

Here is where the remains of the temple are located:
The Roman Forum (in Latin Forum Romanum, although the Romans more often referred to it as Forum Magnum or simply Forum) is an archaeological area of Rome enclosed between the Palatine, the Capitoline Hill, Via dei Fori Imperiali and the Colosseum, made up of the stratification of the remains of those buildings and monuments from heterogeneous eras that for much of the ancient history of Rome represented the political, legal, religious and economic centre of the city of Rome, as well as the nerve centre of the entire Roman civilisation.

The two-tone arcades of Via Venti Settembre in Genoa.
The two-tone arcades of Via Venti Settembre in Genoa are one of the most distinctive and fascinating architectural elements of the city. Via Venti Settembre is one of the main arteries of the center of Genoa and its arcades are known for their elegant two-tone decorations, a typical decorative style that uses two contrasting colors to create suggestive visual effects.
Typically, the two-tone effect is achieved using white marble and black slate, a local stone very common in Ligurian architecture. This contrast of colors creates a very strong and distinctive visual effect.
The decorative motifs in the porticos often include geometric designs, such as stripes, diamonds, and zigzag patterns. These designs are designed to enhance the contrast between the two colors.
Many of the buildings along Via Venti Settembre date back to the Italian Liberty (Art Nouveau) period, and the two-tone effect is used to emphasize the sinuous lines and floral details typical of this style.
In addition to the aesthetic aspect, the two-tone effect also has a practical function, as dark stones, such as slate, are more resistant to wear and stains, so they are often used in areas subject to pedestrian traffic.
The two-tone effect is not only an aesthetic choice, but also has a cultural and historical significance. It reflects the skill of the Genoese craftsmen and the historical richness of the city. It is an example of how architecture can incorporate artistic elements that tell a story and create a unique identity for a place.
Along Via Venti Settembre, some of the most iconic buildings with two-tone porticos include:
Palazzo della Borsa: an example of Art Nouveau architecture with elaborate decorations.
Chiesa della Consolazione: although not directly part of the porticos, it is a nearby landmark with a façade that incorporates two-tone elements.
Palazzi dei Rolli: some of the historic buildings along the street display this type of decoration, although the Rolli themselves are better known for other architectural features.

Where is the street located:
Via XX Settembre is one of the main roads in the centre of Genoa within the Genoese district of San Vincenzo, just under a kilometre long. It runs in an east-west direction and, together with Corso Italia – the promenade that runs along the seafront – is one of the favourite places for strolls by the Genoese. It crosses the two central districts of Portoria (first section, portico, from Piazza De Ferrari to the Monumental Bridge) and San Vincenzo (from the Monumental Bridge to the outlet on Via Cadorna near Piazza della Vittoria.

Un bel palazzo in Caruggio Dritto a Chiavari.
Il centro di Chiavari è probabilmente uno dei luogi di passeggio più belli della Liguria: molti bei negozi, i portici (così quando piove puoi passeggiare ugualmente) e una via abbastanza lunga da fare avanti ed indietro un paio di volte.
Ogni tanto mi fermo a fotografare uno dei molti palazzi che, senza soluzione di continuità, formano questa bella via.
Non ci sono più di due colonne o più di due archi uguali in tutta la città!
