The Bay of Silence one February morning.
One beautiful February morning, exactly February 29, 2024, armed with my ever-present camera I immortalized the beautiful bay that is the symbol of my town, Sestri Levante, but also of my region.
With the sun at my back kissing the houses, the photos came out really well!

Vico Macelli in the historic center of Sestri Levante.
One of the most characteristic alleys of my town and one of those that I love to photograph the most.
I have already talked about it in other posts and it has already been explained that probably in this area there were places where meat was processed in the past.

Here's where the alley is located:
The statue of Victory in Sestri Levante.
On top of the school building in Piazza della Repubblica there is this beautiful statue representing Victory.
I liked this view with the statue peeking out between the houses.
I took the photo from under the arcades of Via Fascie, where the bank is, so to speak.
Have you ever seen this statue?

Roman mythology, which had also drawn many deities and myths from Greek mythology, possessed some native ones, including the goddess Liberty, who symbolically represented the personal freedom of each individual and, in the course of civil history, the right reserved for those who enjoyed Roman citizenship.

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.

Where is this street located:
The splendid Casa delle Viti in Sestri Levante.
Every time I walk along Via della Chiusa my gaze, and when I have it with me, the lens always falls on this house.
In addition to the vine plant that decorates it, from the foundations to the roof, I also really like the colors and the shape
There are three in Sestri: one is this one, the second is in Vico del Bottone and the third is in Vico Marina di Ponente.

On another occasion I also made a nice video:
Where is this house located:
The final part of via Nazionale towards the centre of Sestri Levante.
One of the busiest streets in my Sestri is definitely via Nazionale. In addition to crossing practically the entire town of Sestri longitudinally, it is the street that hosts the greatest number of businesses and shops.
This is its final part, one-way, just before the roundabout of Piazza Sant’Antonio.

This is the point from which I took the shot:
The houses in the Bay of Silence in July.
In July the famous Bay of Sestri Levante is stormed by bathers who fill, to the last centimetre, the short strip of land that separates the houses from the sea.

The seafront promenade of Sestri Levante.
One of my favorite photographs of the seafront promenade is the one that also portrays the monumental trees (I think maritime pine) in the stretch between the Nettuno and the Dani kiosk.
In this case I slightly colored the photo in HDR.

Here is the spot where I took this photo:
The central via Eraldo Fico in Sestri Levante.
One of the streets that I often visit in Sestri is the one that my town dedicated to the partisan Virgola, real name Eraldo Fico. My grandparents lived and had their business in this street but then there is the cinema, the post office, the sports shop; you go to the train station and the parking lots on Gromolo.
Almost impossible to have ever walked it.

Here is the spot where I took this photo:
Eraldo Fico, battle name Virgola (Sestri Levante, 13 September 1915 – Cavi di Lavagna, 22 December 1959), was an Italian worker and partisan. Partisan during the Second World War with the pseudonym of “Virgola”, he was among the organizers of the first partisan brigades in Liguria and precisely in the mountains of Tigullio.

The railway bridge over the Gromolo in Sestri Levante.
Right next to the “recent” railway underpass in Via Nazionale is this beautiful metal railway bridge.
Do you know any anecdotes or stories about this bridge?
