A stroll through the caruggio of Sestri Levante in Liguria. More or less around this time, but last year, I took this beautiful photo of the caruggio (this is what the pedestrian street that crosses a village is called in Liguria) of my town, Sestri Levante. Almost deserted, just as many Sestresi like it.

What is September 20, the date of the XX Settembre streets? On that day, in 1870, the Italian army took Rome after the breach of Porta Pia: it was the end of the Papal State. Continua ed approfondisci su Il Post

Galata (or Galatae or Pera) is the historical core of Beyoğlu, a district of Istanbul, and is located in the northern part of the Golden Horn, the inlet that separates it from the historic city center. There are various theories on the origin of the name "Galata": it could be a contamination of the Italian term calata, archaism for scalo (arch. scala), or derive from gala, milk in Greek; the most probable derivation is however from the Celtic tribe of the Galatians who are believed to have settled in that place in the Hellenistic period: more precisely, a prince of Galatia would have settled there.

A glimpse of Via Cappuccini in Sestri Levante. The narrow streets that crowd the part of land that separates the two bays of Sestri Levante (the Bay of Silence and the Bay of Fairy Tales) form the historic center of my town. This street is the one I walk most often to go and admire the Bay of Silence.

One of the painted doors of Rua de Santa Maria in Funchal on the island of Madeira. Almost by chance I discovered this area of the city of Funchal. In fact I had never been beyond the covered market. A beautiful street, full of typical bars and restaurants (very touristy), which has as a peculiarity the doors of the houses painted with artistic murals.

Rua de Santa Maria in Funchal on the island of Madeira. Rua de Santa Maria dates back to the 15th century, when Funchal was still in its early stages of urban development. Originally, the street was one of the main arteries of the city, connecting the local market, Mercado dos Lavradores, to the church of Santa Maria Maior (Socorro) and the Fort of São Tiago. Over the centuries, the street has undergone many transformations, but has always retained its traditional charm. One of the most distinctive aspects of Rua de Santa Maria is the “Art of Open Doors” project that began in 2010. This project involved local and international artists in decorating the doors and facades of the buildings along the street. Each door became a canvas, turning into a unique and colorful work of art. This has not only beautified the street, but has also helped revitalize the area, attracting tourists and residents who are curious to admire the artistic creations. Today, Rua de Santa Maria is a vibrant hub of social and cultural activity. There are numerous restaurants, bars, cafés and art galleries along the street. In the evening, the street comes alive with people enjoying an al fresco dinner or a drink in one of the many welcoming establishments. Among the most popular restaurants are Restaurante Gavião Novo and Tasquinha do Monsieur, where you can taste typical Madeiran cuisine. Walking along Rua de Santa Maria is an experience not to be missed when visiting Funchal. The combination of history, art and social life makes this street a unique and fascinating place. Whether you are an art lover, a history buff or simply looking for a picturesque place to spend some time, Rua de Santa Maria is sure to captivate you.

The alleyway of the village of Sestri Levante in Liguria. When I'm at home, almost every morning, I go downtown for a walk and a coffee. I like to take a walk when there are few people and this happens especially in winter. When sunny days happen, like the one on the day I took this photo, it is one of my favorite subjects for shots.
