The arcades with black slate floors from Lavagna

I portici dal pavimento in ardesia nera di Lavagna

The arcades with black slate floors from Lavagna
The small village of Lavagna is famous throughout the world for the quality of its black stone, slate, which was quarried in the mountains behind it.
This “black gold” was also used extensively as decoration and as floor tiles.
As in this portico, located in via Dante Alighieri (near the Basilica of Santo Stefano), where the floor is covered with this polished stone.

Here is the spot where this porch is located:

Slate (also called Lavagna stone) is a metamorphic rock of sedimentary origin (Metamarna in pumpellyite-actinolite facies). It is a variety of calcareous-clayey schists easily divisible into thin, flat, light, impermeable and weather-resistant sheets, resulting from low-grade metamorphism of sedimentary rocks formed by the deposition of a very fine silt (marl) due to the erosion of ancient reliefs. Slate is a rock classified as soft or semi-hard. It is a compact stone, leaden-black in color and easily workable.

I portici di via Dante Alighieri a Lavagna

I portici dal pavimento in ardesia della via dedicata a Dante Alighieri a Lavagna.
Questa parte della cittadina lavagnese mi piace molto: via Dante Alighieri e’ quella strada che taglia tutto il centro passando di fronte alla Basilica di Santo Stefano.
Ha la particolarità di avere il pavimento dei portici in ardesia nera ed, in questa punto preciso (all’incorcio con via Alessandro Manzoni) , ci sono diverse osterie e locande che animano la via.

Un vicolo dal pavimento di ardesia nel borgo di Lavagna

Un vicolo dal pavimento di ardesia nel borgo di Lavagna.
Anche nella bella cittadina di Lavagna ci sono svariati portici che circondano il centro storico.
In particolare questo, in via Dante Alighieri, mi piace particolarmente perché anche il pavimento in ardesia (la pietra che proprio dall’entroterra di Lavagna veniva esportata ovunque) è eccezionalmente lucido!

The floor of the Galleria in Milan

The floor of the Galleria in Milan.
To tell the truth, the coat of arms depicted in the center of the gallery is not the coat of arms of Milan but that of the Savoy family.
Then, on the side, in a high mosaic, there is also the coat of arms of the city and the more famous mosaic of the bull (the one whose balls are crushed to bring good luck).
One of the many photos I took last November in the city of Milan.

Here is where the famous Gallery and its floor are located:

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a shopping arcade in Milan that, in the form of a covered pedestrian street, connects Piazza Duomo to Piazza della Scala. Due to the presence of elegant shops and clubs, since its inauguration it has been a meeting place for the Milanese bourgeoisie, so much so that it has been nicknamed the “drawing room of Milan”.
