A characteristic alley of Portovenere

A characteristic alley in Portovenere.
Portovenere, a jewel of the Ligurian Riviera, is famous for its picturesque alleys that tell stories of times gone by. One of these alleys, hidden among the colorful houses and ancient walls, offers a unique and fascinating experience.
Walking through this narrow and winding alley, you have the impression of taking a dip in the past. The stones worn by time and the facades of the houses, with their bright colors and wooden shutters, create a magical atmosphere. Every corner seems to keep a secret, every door tells a story.
The architectural details are what makes this alley so special. The stone arches, the small niches with statues of saints, and the flower-filled balconies add a touch of beauty and authenticity.
Walking through this alley is a sensory experience. The scent of the sea mixes with that of the flowers and aromatic herbs that grow spontaneously. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the birds singing complete this idyllic picture.
This characteristic alley of Portovenere is a place to discover slowly, without haste. Each visit reveals new details, new stories. It is a corner of peace and beauty that invites you to stop and enjoy the moment.

The Bay of Silence one February morning.
One beautiful February morning, exactly February 29, 2024, armed with my ever-present camera I immortalized the beautiful bay that is the symbol of my town, Sestri Levante, but also of my region.
With the sun at my back kissing the houses, the photos came out really well!

Details of the Arch of Victory in Genoa

Particolari dell'Arco della Vittoria a Genova

Details of the Arch of Victory in Genoa.
Located in the heart of the beautiful port city of Genoa, the Arch of Victory is a tangible testimony to the glorious history and rich culture of the city. This majestic monument, erected to commemorate the Italian military victories during the First World War, stands as a symbol of resilience, determination and hope.
The Arch of Victory, also known as the “Arch of Triumph”, was designed by the architect Marcello Piacentini and inaugurated in 1931. Its construction was commissioned by the fascist regime of Mussolini to celebrate the Italian victories in the Great War and to honor the fallen.
This imposing monument, characterized by a neoclassical structure and allegorical decorations, represents a tribute to military strength and patriotic sacrifice. The inscriptions engraved on its facades commemorate the battles and heroes who defended the country’s honor and freedom.
The Arch of Victory is a superb example of monumental architecture, characterized by clean lines, harmonious proportions and intricate details. Its imposing shape and Corinthian columns evoke the ancient traditions of Roman architecture, while the allegorical sculptures and decorations add a touch of grandeur and symbolism.
At the top of the arch, a bronze quadriga drawn by four horses represents the triumphal victory, symbolizing the triumph of the Italian nation over enemy forces. This extraordinary work of art embodies the power and determination of the Italian people in pursuing victory and peace.
Today, the Arch of Victory remains not only a historical monument, but also an iconic landmark and a meeting place for the citizens of Genoa and visitors from around the world. It is a symbol of national unity and hope for a better future, a reminder that peace and prosperity can be achieved through cooperation and mutual respect.
Despite the historical controversies surrounding its construction and meaning, the Arch of Victory continues to inspire and provoke reflection on human nature and the consequences of war. It is a reminder that, even in the darkest of situations, the light of hope and dignity can still shine, guiding future generations towards a world of peace, tolerance and mutual understanding.
Ultimately, the Arch of Victory in Genoa is much more than just a monument; it is a monument to resilience, military glory and the perpetual pursuit of peace and justice in the world.

combattendo in terra in mare in cielo

Some time ago I was in Carpenissone and while I was reaching the small village (maybe village is even too much) I took this beautiful photo immersed in the greenery of the trees.
To tell the truth I was there to taste the ravioli at the famous trattoria La Tagliola.

A glimpse of via Giuseppe Garibaldi in Sestri Levante.
A small street, just behind the sea front, but truly characteristic and called (once) the “caruggiu de l’ou” because there were deposits of some metals, mainly sulphides in the form of pyrite and chalcopyrite, extracted in the nearby hinterland.
