The coast of Pieve Ligure between the Demola and Chiappa ports

La costa di Pieve Ligure tra gli scali Demola e Chiappa

The coast of Pieve Ligure between the Demola and Chiappa docks.
Pieve Ligure, located on the beautiful Ligurian Riviera, is a little gem that offers breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. Among the most fascinating points of its coast are the Demola and Chiappa docks, two places that embody the natural beauty and maritime tradition of the region.
Scalo Demola is one of the natural squares carved out of the rocks, historically used for boat storage. This place has become a popular destination for bathers during the summer, thanks to its sheltered position and the tranquility it offers. Here, the noise of the road is replaced by the gentle sound of the waves crashing on the rocks¹.
Not far away, Scalo Chiappa offers a similar experience, with an equally serene atmosphere and spectacular views. This dock is known for being one of the meeting points for cultural events and outdoor shows, such as the renowned “Scali a Mare Art Festival”². During the festival, the docks are transformed into natural theatres where theatrical performances and artistic performances take place at sunset².

The coast between the Demola and Chiappa ports is characterised by jagged cliffs and crystal-clear waters, ideal for those who love the sea and nature. The traditional Ligurian creuze, narrow paths that lead to the ports, offer panoramic views of the Golfo Paradiso, making every walk an unforgettable experience¹.
The ports are not only places of natural beauty, but also of great cultural importance. During the summer, the ports host events that celebrate local culture, attracting visitors and residents. These events are an opportunity to discover the rich maritime tradition of Pieve Ligure and to enjoy unique shows in an extraordinary natural setting².
The coast of Pieve Ligure between the Demola and Chiappa ports is a place where nature and culture meet, offering a unique and fascinating experience. Whether it's a relaxing day at the beach or an evening of open-air shows, this part of the Ligurian Riviera never disappoints.

A glimpse into the historic center of Lavagna

Uno scorcio nel centro storico di Lavagna

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

A spasso nello splendido caruggio di Sestri Levante

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 aedicule is a relatively small architectural structure, with the practical function of housing and protecting the element placed therein. The term derives from the Latin aedicula, diminutive of aedes (“temple”) and therefore with the original meaning of “small temple”. Originally it was a miniature temple, which housed the statue or the representation of a deity, and a typical example could be the domestic lararium.
