Gli orti verso via dei Cachi a Sestri Levante

The vegetable gardens towards via dei Cachi in Sestri Levante.
When I was a kid this part of Sestri was called the Mulinetti area (who knows why?!) and it was a huge clearing, in beaten earth, which was used for various needs: parking, the circus, concerts…
At the end of this clearing there were, and still are, these vegetable gardens that flank the road that is called via dei cachi.
It's just a shame that when I took this photo the sun was shining against it.

The stretch of the cycle path in the Mandela Park in Sestri Levante.
One of the most beautiful stretches of cycle path in my Sestri Levante is the one that crosses the Mandela Park.
On the left the athletics track while on the right, in addition to the many benches sheltered by the Mediterranean pines, the basketball court and the municipal swimming pool.

Have you ever visited the park?

La meridiana del Parco Mandela a Sestri Levante

La meridiana del Parco Mandela a Sestri Levante.
Sulla sommità della collinetta che sta nel mezzo al Parco Mandela a Sestri Levante c’è una bella meridiana, anzi più di una.
Non vi so dare molte informazioni aggiuntive per cui invito qualche lettore a darmi qualche notizia se la sa.
Intanto vi posto la foto (scattata già qualche mese fa):

E’ detta anche, impropriamente, orologio solare o quadrante solare, è uno strumento di misurazione del tempo basato sul rilevamento della posizione del Sole. Ha origini molto antiche e nella sua accezione più generale indica in massima parte gli orologi solari presenti sui muri degli edifici. In senso stretto, con meridiana si deve intendere unicamente l’indicatore del passaggio del Sole a mezzogiorno.
