A glimpse of via Giuseppe Garibaldi in Sestri Levante. A small street, just behind the sea front, but truly characteristic and called (once) the “caruggiu de l’ou” because there were deposits of some metals, mainly sulphides in the form of pyrite and chalcopyrite, extracted in the nearby hinterland.

Here is where the village is located:
In the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance it had its best period, characterized by extraordinary trade that favored its economic prosperity (it was called "the dry port"), still testified today by the numerous buildings in the historic center, worthy of appearing in much larger cities, and the economic growth was accompanied by lively cultural and social activity. Already in 1469, to favor the circulation of money a Jewish banker was called, one of the few professions to which those men were authorized, and despite this he was persecuted and later one of the very first Monti di Pietà was erected, followed later by the Monte Frumentario and various other charitable and welfare institutions.

Cannara gate in the village of Bevagna in Umbria. Cannara gate is one of the historical jewels of Bevagna, a charming town in Umbria. Dating back to the medieval period, this gate represents one of the best preserved testimonies of the city's past. The structure, with its imposing tower, loopholes and coats of arms, evokes images of a distant but timeless era. An interesting detail is the central niche, once decorated with a fresco, which adds an artistic touch to the fortified architecture. Inside the gate, you can admire a sundial painted in the 18th century, testimony to the skill and attention to detail of the craftsmen of the time. Visiting Cannara Gate means immersing yourself in the history of Bevagna and appreciating the timeless beauty of an urban work of art. A symbol of identity and tradition that continues to enchant visitors. On the gate there is a sundial, which is however very faded, and a plaque in memory of Giuseppe Garibaldi.

The alley of Chiavari and the plaque for Garibaldi. One of the many shots of the views that I like to take when I walk in the alley of Chiavari.

Considered by historiography and in the mass culture of the 20th century as the main Italian national hero, he began his travels around the world as an officer of merchant ships, and then became a long-distance captain. His most famous enterprise was the victorious expedition of the Thousand that led to the annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the nascent Kingdom of Italy, a central episode in the process of unification of the new nation.

This small neighborhood, which seems to have come out of a postcard, is characterized by narrow streets, stairways and a small pebble beach where fishermen spread their nets in the sun.
What to see and do in Boccadasse: The church of Sant’Antonio da Padova: built by fishermen in the 17th century, this church is a place of worship much loved by the inhabitants of the village. Inside, you can admire marble floors of different colors and numerous ex votos that tell stories of rescues at sea. The small beach of Boccadasse: a small pebble beach where you can relax and enjoy the view of the fishermen's boats and the colorful houses overlooking the sea.

Ice cream parlors and restaurants: Boccadasse is also famous for its artisanal ice cream parlors and seafood restaurants. It is the ideal place to enjoy an ice cream or a plate of fresh fish while admiring the view. The Corso Italia promenade: a long promenade that connects Boccadasse to the center of Genoa, perfect for a relaxing stroll overlooking the sea.
The name “Boccadasse” comes from the shape of the inlet on which it stands, which resembles a “donkey’s mouth”. The village is also known as the “village of lovers” for its romantic atmosphere and breathtaking views.
