The famous facade of the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan

La famosa facciata della Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio a Milano

The famous facade of the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan.
When I visited this splendid basilica, one of the symbols of Milan, I still remember the first verses of the homonymous poem by Giuseppe Giusti that I learned in middle school:

“Vostra Eccellenza, che mi sta in cagnesco
per que’ pochi scherzucci di dozzina,
e mi gabella per antitedesco
perché metto le birbe alla berlina,
o senta il caso avvenuto di fresco
a me che, girellando una mattina,
càpito in Sant’Ambrogio di Milano,
in quello vecchio, là, fuori di mano.”

The famous facade with the quadriportico.

The basilica has a broad, flattened gabled façade and is equipped with two overlapping loggias. The sides of the lower loggia, which is made up of three equally sized arches, join with the portico, which has slightly higher arches.

The arcades of via Garibaldi in Chiavari

The arcades of Via Garibaldi in Chiavari.
Walking through the beautiful town on the Ligurian Riviera famous for its arcades, you are not only impressed by the oldest and smallest ones in the alleyway but also by the more modern ones in other parts of the city.
Like these, taller and more regular than Corso Garibaldi.

The Brignardello portico in Lavagna

Il porticato Brignardello sul sagrato della Basilica di Santo Stefano a Lavagna

The Brignardello portico on the parvis of the Basilica of Santo Stefano in Lavagna.
One of the most photographed places in Lavagna is certainly the parvis of the largest church in the city: Santo Stefano.
On two sides there are houses while on the right side there is this beautiful and large loggia from which you can access the monumental cemetery.
A special feature is that you can climb onto the roof of the portico and take photos from an unusual perspective.

In 1897, the last decorative interventions in the square saw the construction of the marble loggia – known as the Bignardello portico – which thus allowed access, without passing in front of the church, to the monumental cemetery located behind the religious structure.

The porticos of via Domenico Chiodo in La Spezia.
Even in the city of La Spezia there are many porticos (with a more modern appearance than the coastal towns) but still very beautiful and, above all, very well decorated.
Like these that flank the public gardens in via Domenico Chiodo.

Il portico devozione di San Luca a Bologna

Il portico devozione di San Luca a Bologna.
E’ il portico più lungo al mondo e si trova a Bologna. Congiunge, in una via pedonale e protetta dalla pioggia, il centro città con il santuario della Madonna di San Luca.
Io l’ho percorso in discesa prendendo un taxi fino al santuario e scendendo i tre e passa chilometri a piedi.
Una bella passeggiata che si deve assolutamente fare se si è a Bologna per qualche giorno; se non altro per smaltire un pochino di quello che si è pappato nelle varie osterie cittadine!

La via che, inerpicandosi per il colle della Guardia, porta al santuario, fu inizialmente ciottolata nel 1589 dal governo cittadino. L’abitudine dei pellegrini di appendere immagini con i Misteri del Rosario agli alberi lungo il percorso, indusse nel 1640 la vicaria Olimpia Boccaferri ad iniziare la costruzione di 15 cappelle.

The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of San Luca in Bologna

Il santuario della Beata Vergine di San Luca a Bologna

The sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of San Luca in Bologna.
One of the symbols of Bologna is the Portico Devozionale that leads to the sanctuary of San Luca which, in addition to the portico itself, is a very pretty baroque-style church.
Here I tried to photograph the entire facade with the side porticos and I think it came out a nice shot.

The Asinelli Tower in Bologna.
The most famous tower in Bologna photographed through the porticoes of the Palazzo della Mercanzia.
Unfortunately there was a cable that cut across the entire tower and if you look carefully you can see that I tried to remove it.

The portico under the Vasari Corridor in Florence

Il portico sotto al corridoio vasariano a Firenze

The portico under the Vasari Corridor in Florence.
When visiting Florence and Ponte Vecchio, you cannot help but notice this portico that runs for about ten meters between the bridge and the Uffizi.
This portico is nothing other than the support for the famous and mysterious Vasari Corridor, a sort of secret passage built by Cosimo I de' Medici.

The Vasari Corridor was built in just 5 months at the behest of the then Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici in 1565 by the architect Giorgio Vasari, who had already built the current Uffizi Gallery. The work was commissioned to coincide with the marriage between the Grand Duke’s son, Francesco, and the Archduchess of Austria Giovanna of Austria.

Archi e portici in via Rivarola a Chiavari

Archi e portici in via Rivarola a Chiavari.
Forse è il carrugio di Chiavari che più amo fotografare e probabilmente una delle ragioni principali è che ci sono sempre meno passanti e quindi è più facile scattare una foto pulita.
I portici poi sono più rustici!
