The splendid San Fruttuoso of Camogli

La splendida San Fruttuoso di Camogli

The splendid San Fruttuoso di Camogli.
I never stop rolling my eyes every time I find myself in front of one of the photos I took on one of my trips to San Fruttuoso.
At the moment I have already reached the splendid Abbey both from Camogli (path of the chains) and from Santa Margherita Ligure (from the Portofino mountain) and both paths were very challenging and long but, at the same time, they gave me dozens of shots in nature.

Do you know San Fruttuoso?

Here is where the Abbey is located:

The abbey is dedicated to Saint Fructuosus of Tarragona, a 3rd century Catalan bishop and saint, whose ashes are preserved in the abbey, where they were supposedly transferred following the Arab invasion of the Iberian Peninsula.
The abbey cannot be reached by any road, but can only be accessed by sea or by following two panoramic paths: one that descends from the Portofino mountain above and the other that runs along the coast starting from the Portofino bay. The abbey overlooks the bathing beach in front.

La citta’ di Rapallo vista dall’alto

Rapallo vista dall'alto

La citta’ di Rapallo vista dall’alto.
Da questa foto scattata dalle alture che arrivano fino al Santuario di Montallegro si vede la grande urbanizzazione di questa città che ha persino portato a creare un nuovo termine: rapallizazione.

Rapallo vista dall'alto

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Tamron 16-300.

Zone pressoché primitive o sfruttate precedentemente in diversi usi (agricolo soprattutto) furono in breve tempo “sostituite” da nuovi insediamenti abitativi. Il fenomeno prese il nome di “rapallizzazione”, e tale sviluppo urbano subì ben presto l’interessamento e l’intervento di alcuni dei più famosi intellettuali ed urbanisti dell’epoca, tra questi Indro Montanelli, che segnalarono ai media la situazione che si stava creando nella cittadina ligure.

If you want to see all the photos taken in Varese on that day but also previously click here:

Here's where the town is located:

Borgo Rotondo in the historic center of Varese. Commissioned by the Fieschi family for the control and defense of the Varese territory, it is made up of identical stone houses arranged along the perimeter which, with an elliptical shape, enclose the two main squares (Piazza Fieschi and Piazza Castello), where the commercial activities, warehouses and laboratories were located in the underlying porticoes.

Moneglia beach seen from the Punta Baffe path

La spiaggia di Moneglia

Moneglia beach seen from the Punta Baffe path.
A very pretty village in the Levante Ligure (the last municipality in the province of Genoa) is Moneglia.
Frequented by many summer tourists, who have their second home here, it has a beautiful (although small) beach protected by a couple of rock dams parallel to the coast.
The photo was taken from the path that connects the village with Riva Trigoso passing through Punta Baffe.

The view of Riva Trigoso from Montepagano

La vista di Riva Trigoso da Montepagano

The view of Riva Trigoso from Montepagano.
It has not been long since I discovered this beautiful path that climbs behind Riva Trigoso. The hill and its park is called Montepagano and you climb from behind the cemetery of San Bartolomeo and descend to the height of the waterfall of the Torrente Petronio.
At the top of the path a belvedere that opens onto the town of Riva Trigoso.

A beautiful view, don't you think? Add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

The church of Sant’Anna in Valletti

La chiesa di Sant'Anna a Valletti

The church of Sant’Anna in Valletti.
Several months ago now (and you can see it from the snow) I was in this small town (perhaps calling it a town is even too much) called Valletti, in the municipality of Varese Ligure, where one of my friends has a house.
Walking along the road we arrived at the church of Sant’Anna which I photographed and filmed with the drone.
It was really very cold and there was also a persistent and icy wind so I wasn’t able to take many more shots than the one I’m posting below.

Have you ever been to this tiny Ligurian village?
