The houses in via Nazionale in Sestri Levante near the underpass.
When I want to go downtown on foot (or by car) from my house, there are three options: either you go through Mandela Park, or via Antica Romana Occidentale, or you go through via Nazionale.
Going through via Nazionale, when you are about to arrive in the center, you come across the railway underpass and, immediately after, a series of beautiful colored houses that I tried to emphasize in these photos.
This underpass has been there for as long as I can remember, but before, if I'm not mistaken, there was a level crossing with a small pedestrian underpass (always flooded when it rained).
Do you have any memories about it?

The ancient bridge symbol of the village of Bogliasco in Liguria.
One of the symbols of the beautiful village of Bogliasco, pearl of the Golfo Paradiso in Liguria, is certainly this medieval bridge that allows you to cross the Bogliasco stream and which is generally called "the Roman bridge".
On the official website of Cultural Heritage I then found other interesting information: here.

It is the first municipality you come across when travelling from Genoa towards the Riviera di Levante, in a small inlet at the mouth of the river of the same name. Among the reliefs of the territory there is Mount Cordona (803 m) along the ancient path to the hamlet of Sessarego and Mount Rotondo (789 m). The beaches alternate with deep and characteristic cliffs. It is possible to practice surfing there. The hinterland is typical of eastern Liguria, partly with strips of olive groves, with the possibility of excursions.

The Flam Wooden Bridge in Norway.
Nestled in the majestic mountains of Norway, the picturesque village of Flam is famous not only for its breathtaking scenery but also for its charming wooden bridge. This bridge, which spans the Flam River, has become a local icon, a symbol of the connection between man and nature.
The Flam Wooden Bridge, with its elegant and rustic architecture, blends in perfectly with its surroundings. Its solid wooden beams rise towards the sky, while the interwoven railings create an artistic effect that captures the attention of anyone who passes over it. The choice of wood as the main material is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a tribute to the Norwegian building tradition, which has made wise use of natural resources for centuries.
In addition to its visual beauty, the Flam Bridge plays a fundamental role in the life of the local community. By connecting the two banks of the river, it facilitates the daily transit of residents and visitors, creating a tangible connection between people and the surrounding nature. The feeling of walking on this bridge is a unique experience, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Norway.
During the warmer seasons, the bridge becomes a meeting point for locals and tourists, offering a scenic space to admire the surrounding landscape. During the winter, however, the bridge takes on a different charm, with snow gently settling on the wooden beams, creating an enchanting picture.
The construction of the Flam wooden bridge is also an example of ecological engineering, with the aim of minimising the impact on the surrounding environment. The architects have cleverly integrated the bridge into the natural topography, avoiding disturbances and preserving the beauty of the place.
In conclusion, the Flam wooden bridge is much more than a simple crossing structure. It is a symbol of connection, union and respect for the environment. Crossing this bridge, you can experience a moment of quiet and contemplation, surrounded by the pristine beauty of Norway and the warmth of a community that values its history and its natural environment.

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

A canal and some padlocks in Venice.
In Venice, canals are an integral part of the city and are crossed by numerous waterways and smaller canals. The city is famous for its picturesque bridges, gondolas and fascinating views of the water. It may be that you are looking for information about a specific canal or a particular area of Venice.
As for padlocks, the most famous image of padlocks in Venice is linked to the Bridge of Sighs. However, the phenomenon of padlocks is more common in other cities, such as Paris (on the Pont des Arts) or Rome (on the Ponte Milvio).

Il celebre Naviglio Grande di Milano.
I Navigli di Milano, originariamente concepiti nel XII secolo, hanno da sempre rappresentato una parte fondamentale della vita cittadina. I canali, navigabili fino al XIX secolo, erano il principale mezzo di trasporto delle merci, consentendo uno sviluppo economico e commerciale senza precedenti per la città.
Oggi, i Navigli sono una delle attrazioni turistiche più affascinanti di Milano. Le rive dei canali sono punteggiate da caffè, ristoranti e botteghe d’arte, creando un’atmosfera vivace e cosmopolita. Gli edifici che si affacciano sui Navigli raccontano storie di epoche passate, conservando il fascino di un’architettura che ha resistito al trascorrere del tempo.
Ponte Enrico Molteni: Un Simbolo di Connessione.
In questo panorama ricco di storia e cultura, Ponte Enrico Molteni emerge come un simbolo di connessione tra le due sponde del Naviglio della Martesana. Costruito nel 1956, questo ponte pedonale sospeso è stato dedicato all’ingegnere Enrico Molteni, una figura di spicco nel mondo delle infrastrutture milanesi.
Il design elegante e contemporaneo di Ponte Enrico Molteni cattura l’attenzione di residenti e visitatori. La struttura metallica, con le sue linee pulite e la forma dinamica, si fonde armoniosamente con l’ambiente circostante, creando un connubio tra tradizione e modernità. La vista panoramica che offre, permettendo di ammirare i Navigli e i dintorni, lo rende un luogo ideale per una passeggiata rilassante o per scattare fotografie indimenticabili.

I Navigli di Milano sono un sistema di canali irrigui e navigabili, con baricentro la città lombarda di Milano, che metteva in comunicazione il lago Maggiore, quello di Como e il basso Ticino aprendo al capoluogo lombardo le vie d’acqua della Svizzera e dell’Europa nordoccidentale, del Cantone dei Grigioni e dell’Europa nordorientale e, infine, quella del Po verso il mare Adriatico.

The Ponte Vecchio of Cicagna in the Fontanabuona valley.
Crossing the village of Cicagna I stopped for a moment on the Ponte della Vittoria and from there I photographed what I believe to be the oldest part of the village, with its beautiful stone bridge.
I searched a lot online and found that the bridge is called Ponte Vecchio and crosses the Lavagna stream.
When I looked for more historical information I only found it on the Ponte Fieschi which I believe is the same structure.
Maybe someone more experienced can help me understand? Add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

Where is the bridge located:
The town was under the dominion of the Malaspina family until 1114, when it was incorporated into the lands of the Republic of Genoa. In an ancient document dating back to 1143 it is mentioned with the toponym of Plicania, which was then transformed into Chinaglia and then into today's Cicagna.
Always an important point in the Fontanabuona valley, the community was included in the podestà of Rapallo and subsequently in its captaincy (established in 1608), in the historic “quarter” of Oltremonte.
