La fontana del Genio Marino in piazza Colombo a Genova

Here's where the fountain is located:

The fountain was moved from Ponte Reale to Piazza Colombo in 1861 to embellish the new nineteenth-century square commissioned by the architect Resasco. Not only beauty but also utility since the barchile served as a watering place for horses and mules coming from the countryside that passed through loaded with vegetables towards the eastern market.

A glimpse of the historic center of Lavagna.
Walking through the center of the beautiful town on the Gulf of Tigullio, I was, for the umpteenth time, to see and photograph the Torre del Borgo and the beautiful garden that lies in front of it.
This is the little violet that reaches it.

The beautiful Senarega square in the alleys of Genoa

La bella piazza Senarega nei vicoli di Genova

The beautiful Piazza Senarega in the alleys of Genoa.
In the heart of Genoa, hidden among the alleys of the historic center, lies the suggestive Piazza Senarega. This picturesque corner is an architectural and historical jewel that tells the authentic soul of the city.
The square takes its name from the ancient and noble Senarega family, who in the Middle Ages owned several properties in the area. Today, Piazza Senarega is a quiet refuge from the lively activity of the city center, characterized by a cobblestone pavement and surrounded by historic buildings that bear witness to the passing of the centuries.
One of the main points of interest is the Church of San Torpete, a small baroque church that dominates the square with its simple but elegant facade. The church, restored over the years, is a perfect example of local religious architecture and a place of peace and reflection.
Walking through Piazza Senarega means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of times gone by, where every stone seems to tell a story. The narrow streets that lead to the square offer unique and unexpected views, making this place a must-see for those who want to discover the true essence of Genoa.
Visiting Piazza Senarega does not only mean exploring a hidden corner of the city, but also living an experience that combines history, art and culture in an authentically Genoese environment.

Here's exactly where the square is located:

A few steps from Via degli Orefici and Via Banchi is the charming Piazza Senarega. The toponym of the site originates from the name of the noble family of the same name originally from the Scrivia Valley. The absolute protagonist of the square is the luxurious palace, built around 1590, of Gio. Batta Senarega.

A glimpse of Piazza Paolo Costa in Chiavari.
Just behind the alleyway of Chiavari, between alleys and minor porticos, is this beautiful little square that I photographed some time ago.
Even if I have not managed to discover who the Paolo Costa was to whom it is dedicated, it is very characteristic.

The loggia of Piazza Luigi Angelini in Bergamo

La loggia di piazza Luigi Angelini a Bergamo

The loggia of Piazza Luigi Angelini in Bergamo.
Bergamo Alta, also known as Città Alta, is the historical and medieval part of Bergamo, located on a hill and surrounded by imposing Venetian walls, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2017. This area is famous for its cobbled streets, picturesque squares and breathtaking panoramic views.

Piazza Luigi Angelini is a hidden corner of Bergamo Alta, known for its loggia and quiet charm. The square is dedicated to Luigi Angelini, an engineer and architectural historian who played a crucial role in the redevelopment and preservation of the Città Alta in the 1930s.
Luigi Angelini was tasked with improving the condition of the Città Alta while maintaining its historic character. His redevelopment plan included demolishing ruined buildings and creating new public spaces, such as walkways, gardens and markets. Piazza Luigi Angelini, formerly known as Piazza Verzeri, is an example of his work, with the loggia providing a quiet and picturesque passage away from the tourist traffic.

What to See in Bergamo Alta:
Piazza Vecchia: the heart of the Upper Town, surrounded by historic buildings such as the Palazzo della Ragione and the Angelo Mai Civic Library.
The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore: a splendid Romanesque church with richly decorated interiors.
The Colleoni Chapel: a masterpiece of the Lombard Renaissance, located next to the basilica.
The Campanone (Civic Tower): offers a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding mountains.
The Castle of San Vigilio: located on an even higher hill, reachable by a funicular, it offers spectacular views and a peaceful atmosphere.

Bergamo Alta and Piazza Luigi Angelini offer a fascinating mix of history, culture and architectural beauty.

Una delle foto iconiche di Assisi, tolta quella della Basilica di San Francesco, è sicuramente di questo palazzo che sorge all’incontro di due strade: Piaggia di Porta San Pietro e via Fontebella.
Sede di questa bella edicola votiva con una Madonna con Bambino della quale però non riesco a trovare molte informazioni.

Chi di voi non ha mai parcheggiato la macchina nella centralissima piazza del Mercato?
Qualcuno, ogni tanto, mi dice che fotografo sempre la Baia del Silenzio…
Forse è anche vero che la maggioranza dei miei scatti ritraggono quel punto di Sestri ma mi do sempre da fare per fotografare anche angoli meno fotogenici e noti.
