Rapallo vista dall'alto

La citta’ di Rapallo vista dall’alto.
Da questa foto scattata dalle alture che arrivano fino al Santuario di Montallegro si vede la grande urbanizzazione di questa città che ha persino portato a creare un nuovo termine: rapallizazione.

Rapallo vista dall'alto

Zone pressoché primitive o sfruttate precedentemente in diversi usi (agricolo soprattutto) furono in breve tempo “sostituite” da nuovi insediamenti abitativi. Il fenomeno prese il nome di “rapallizzazione”, e tale sviluppo urbano subì ben presto l’interessamento e l’intervento di alcuni dei più famosi intellettuali ed urbanisti dell’epoca, tra questi Indro Montanelli, che segnalarono ai media la situazione che si stava creando nella cittadina ligure.

Rapallo e Santa Margherita dall’alto

Rapallo e Santa Margherita dall'alto

Rapallo e Santa Margherita dall’alto.
Dal sentiero che porta al Santuario di Montallegro si può godere di una vista eccezionale sul Golfo del Tigullio.
Si vede benissimo il porticciolo di Rapallo e quello di Santa Margherita oltre che le due bellissime cittadine.
Quando ero stato a fare il sentiero (da Chiavari) avevo scattato veramente tante foto che piano piano vi pubblico.

Considered one of the main Marian sanctuaries in the metropolitan area of ​​Genoa and Liguria, it was built by the people of Rapallo between 1557 and 1558, together with the adjoining shelter for pilgrims, after the apparition of the Virgin Mary on 2 July 1557 to the farmer Giovanni Chichizola. The current marble façade dates back to the renovation carried out by the Milanese architect Luigi Rovelli in 1896, and inaugurated with a solemn ceremony on 21 June of that year.

The Civic Tower of Rapallo

La Torre Civica di Rapallo

La Torre Civica di Rapallo.
Una veduta di Rapallo dalla discesa del sentiero di Montallegro con al centro la imponente Torre Civica (1443) annessa alla Chiesa di Santo Stefano.
Non credo di avere mai notato questa torre eretta al centro di una zona che ospita anche l’edificio della Confraternita dei Bianchi.

The largest and most important of the ancient towers of the city, the Civic Tower is a structural work from 1473. According to historical sources, its construction was commissioned by the noble citizens to symbolize peace among the inhabitants of the village after a century shaken by internal and power struggles between the major city factions of the medieval era.

The city of Rapallo seen from the hills behind

The city of Rapallo seen from the hills behind
There are really a lot of houses (it is no coincidence that the term rapallization was coined) but it is enough to climb a little on the heights and you are already immersed in the olive trees.
Like the first photo I am inserting in this post, taken in the last kilometers of the path that took me from Chiavari to the Sanctuary of Montallegro and then finished the walk in the coastal town.
What a nice view!

The icon of the Sanctuary of Montallegro

L'icona del Santuario di Montallegro

The icon of the Sanctuary of Montallegro
One of the most beloved places of worship in my area, and perhaps in my region, is the Sanctuary of Montallegro, on the heights of Rapallo.
The symbol and emblem of this place is the effigy that according to legend was found in the spot where the apparition to the Rapallo farmer took place.
The original effigy is still in the sanctuary, in the photo, protected by angels.

The trail to the Sanctuary of Montallegro in Rapallo

Il sentiero per il Santuario di Montallegro a Rapallo

The trail to the Sanctuary of Montallegro in Rapallo.
In recent weeks, like many others, I have become a lover of trekking.
I am lucky that in my area, the Ligurian Tigullio, there are many beautiful trails to hike.
So last week I went, together with some friends, to do the one that starts from Chiavari, passes by the Sanctuary of Grazie, goes to the Sanctuary of Montallegro and then ends in Rapallo.
A really nice ride of about 15 kilometers with some stretches (especially the initial one) that are really tough.
I'll leave you just a couple of photos here: the first is of the road that goes from Montallegro to Rapallo and that I took downhill; the second is of one of the many stretches of the trail.
