La Abbazia di Santo Stefano a Genova

La Abbazia di Santo Stefano a Genova.
Questa chiesa è nel cuore della Genova laboriosa; in pieno centro sopra a via XX Settembre.
E’ sufficiente, all’altezza del Ponte Monumentale, salire qualche gradino e si arriva su questa terrazza con da un lato la splendida chiesa e dall’altro i bei palazzi nobiliari di via Venti.

Here is where the church is located:

The church of Santo Stefano (or abbey of Santo Stefano) is one of the most famous Christian places of worship in Genoa, and its parish community is part of the Vicariate of Carignano – Foce of the archdiocese of Genoa. Situated on a hill overlooking the central Via XX Settembre, it was one of the most significant examples of Romanesque architecture in the Ligurian capital. Christopher Columbus was baptized in this church and it is believed that the young Balilla was also baptized.

La Città Imperiale di Hue in Vietnam

La Città Imperiale di Hue in Vietnam.
Uno dei monumenti più antichi e visitati di tutto il Vietnam è la cittadella antica della città di Hue.
Hue è stata per un periodo la capitale dell’Impero Vietnamita; il Vietnam è uno stato che esiste sin dal IV secolo avanti Cristo domina in quella che è chiamata Indocina.
Un esempio, ben conservato, di palazzi e giardini. Al suo interno anche la piccola Città Proibita.
Veramente un luogo da visitare, possibilmente (non come ho fatto io) lontano dalle ore centrali del giorno perché il caldo rischia di rovinare il piacere della visita.

Lago e grotta di Tuyet Tinh Coc

Lago e grotta di Tuyet Tinh Coc.
Questo è il primo luogo che ho visitato nella eccezionale regione di Ninh Binh, a Sud di Hanoi, in Vietnam.
Ci troviamo nella famosissima regione vietnamita di Ninh Binh, famosa per le colline rocciose, i fiumiciattoli che le attraversano e modellano da millenni, di grotte e caverne e dalla natura più rigogliosa e lussureggiante.
Questo laghetto, che era a solo un paio di chilometri dalla guesthouse nella quale alloggiavamo, è stata la prima cosa che abbiamo visitato.
Una visita veloce perché non necessita di molto tempo ma lo spettacolo è assicurato.
Alle spalle del lago, sfondo preferito da molti sposini freschi per scattare le foto in abiti da cerimonia, un’altra altrettanto splendida caverna santuario, a pochi (ma ripidi) gradini.

Hoi An, the small town of lanterns in Vietnam

Hoi An, the small town of lanterns in Vietnam.
The splendid town south of Da Nang. Famous for its lanterns and lights on the river in the evening. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A walk in the chaotic streets that this time are made difficult to walk only by the many tourists (mostly Korean and Chinese) and not by scooters!
The small houses covered with flowering climbing plants offer heavenly views.
Then in the evening, with the setting of the sun, all the lanterns light up and the town takes on an even greater charm.

The Ribaudo Kiosk in Palermo

The Ribaudo kiosk in Palermo.
In the city of Palermo you often come across very artistic little kiosks.
I have never been able to understand their history and some time ago, when I was in the city by ship, I photographed one in front of the Politeama Garibaldi Theater, right in the center.
Searching a bit on the internet I found that these liberty monuments were built to sell drinks and tickets. I don't think the one I photographed is used anymore. The one in front of the Teatro Massimo is now a tobacconist.
Here you can find some additional information about the kiosks: italialiberty.it and arte.it.

The beautiful Banchi square in the ancient heart of Genoa

The beautiful Piazza Banchi in the ancient heart of Genoa.
I am copying the text of another article because the photo is practically the same but taken with a different lens.
This is one of the most famous squares in the historic center of Genoa.
In the background the church of San Pietro in Banchi and on the left the Loggia delle Mercanzie. In the middle of the square the old dehors with used newspapers and books.

The Ducal Palace in Genoa

Palazzo Ducale in Genoa.
One of the symbols of Genoa is this splendid palace from the 1300s. A historic building and a very important Genoese museum (the website palazzoducale.genova.it).
I had never managed to take a nice photo (or maybe I took some but then I didn't post them) and here the gap is filled even if a lot of time has already passed since I took the photo (March 2019).

Where is the palace:

The Palazzo Ducale of Genoa is one of the main historical buildings and museums of the Ligurian capital, once the seat of the doge of the ancient Republic.
Abandoned for a long time and used as the seat of the judicial offices before the construction of the new Portoria courthouse in the 1970s, its restoration was completed on the occasion of the “Colombiadi” of 1992, which commemorated Christopher Columbus and the five hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America.

The name of this market comes from the word Bucceria, taken from the French boucherie, which means butcher's shop. The market was in fact initially intended for slaughter (and in the Angevin era one was built) and for the sale of meat. Later it became a market for the sale of fish, fruit and vegetables. In ancient times it was called "the great Bucciria" to distinguish it from the smaller markets. "Vuccirìa" in Palermo means "Confusion". Today, the confusion of overlapping voices and the shouts of the sellers (the abbanniati) is one of the elements that most characterizes this Palermo market.

Uno degli scatti più classici a Ferrara è la statua di Savonarola con sullo sfondo il castello Estense.
Ovviamente non mi sono potuto esimere anch’io.

Palazzo della Borsa a Genova

Palazzo della Borsa a Genova.
Passeggiando in piazza De Ferrari a Genova si possono notare diversi palazzi storici che la delimitano. Oltre al palazzo della Regione, al Carlo Felice e al Palazzo Ducale c’e’ anche questo enorme edificio sede della borsa genovese, ai primi del secolo scorso uno dei piu’ importanti d’Italia.

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Canon EF-S10.

Detto della Nuova Borsa Valori è un edificio storico di Genova, sito in Piazza De Ferrari. Realizzato dagli ingegneri Dario Carbone e Amedeo Pieragostini, ha un’architettura che ricalca lo stile neo-cinquecentesco, mentre gli interni, opera di Adolfo Coppedè, si ispirano allo stile Liberty. L’architettura e le decorazioni dovevano rendere evidenti la potenza finanziaria che il mercato genovese, per l’elevato volume di affari, esprimeva agli inizi del ‘900, quando era la prima borsa italiana.
