Il tratto di autostrada a Sestri Levante.
Tempo fa ormai ahimè avevo scattato questa foto molto particolare del tratto di autostrada che passa da Sestri Levante.
Mi piaceva molto il profilo ondeggiante di quella striscia di asfalto.
La foto, che potrebbe sembrare quasi scattata con il drone, in realtà è stata realizzata con il teleobiettivo dalla cima di Punta Baffe, durante una mia camminata lungo quel sentiero.

The final part of via Fieschi in Genoa

La parte finale di via Fieschi a Genova

The final part of via Fieschi in Genoa.
Some time ago I went for a walk, with friends, in one of the parts of Genoa that I have never seen well.
This is in fact via Fieschi, the straight uphill road that from via XX Settembre goes up to the Church of Carignano that you can see there at the end.

The Straight Alley in Chiavari

Carrugio Dritto a Chiavari

The Straight Alley in Chiavari
This is the main and best known street in Chiavari: the Carrugio Dritto (on the maps via Martiri della Liberazione).
Years after the first time I had to use the word carrugio, up until now, I'm still not sure how to write it correctly: carrugio, caruggio, carruggio or carugio.

The historic center of Chiavari can be considered one of the best preserved and preserved areas of the entire Tigullio district. Its urban and architectural structure is in fact very different from other coastal municipalities, especially due to the numerous presence of medieval porticoes along the main street of the historic center - the Caruggio Dritto - (via Martiri della Liberazione and via Vittorio Veneto) - symbol par excellence of the bourgeois class from the second half of the 14th century.

Una creuza sull’Isola di Sestri Levante

Una creuza sull’Isola di Sestri Levante.
Una viuzza tipica della Liguria, una creuza appunto, fatta di mattoni al centro e pietre rotonde ai lati.
Qui siamo sull’Isola di Sestri (che poi è una Penisola) e precisamente in via Cittadella forse la meno nota delle tra stradine che salgono fino ai Castelli di Sestri.

The ancient Via Aurelia in Sestri Levante

La antica via Aurelia a Sestri Levante

The ancient Via Aurelia in Sestri Levante.
Perhaps few have noticed it but along the Ancient Western Roman Road, part in the courtyard of the Temple of Christ the King and part outside, there are a few meters of the ancient Roman road called Aurelia.
There is also a plaque that tells of some Popes who passed through that point along the road: in 1635 Benedetto Odescalchi, in 1809 Pius VII (the Prisoner Pope) and in 1825 Giovanni Mastai Ferretti.
Instead, just outside the churchyard of the Temple there is a small bridge that I believe is the original continuation of the road.

The Aurelia (which in the numbering of state roads adopted by ANAS has taken the numbering of state road 1 Via Aurelia) today connects Rome to France, running along the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Ligurian Sea.

Antonio Gramsci Street in Riva Trigoso

Via Antonio Gramsci a Riva Trigoso

Via Antonio Gramsci in Riva Trigoso.
Perhaps the name of this street will mean little to many of you. However, I imagine that almost all of you, at least once, have walked along it to go to the beach of Renà or to Moneglia or many more times to go to work.
It is precisely the road that runs along the wall of the Fincantieri shipyard in Riva Trigoso.
Since I was a child, that futuristic transparent passage has always attracted me and I have always wondered if anyone ever walks along it. Maybe someone here can answer me.

Here is the spot where I took these photos:

Antonio Sebastiano Francesco Gramsci (Ales, January 22, 1891 – Rome, April 27, 1937) was an Italian politician, philosopher, political scientist, journalist, linguist and literary critic. Considered one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century, in his writings, among the most original of the Marxist philosophical tradition, Gramsci analyzed the cultural and political structure of society. In particular, he developed the concept of hegemony, according to which the dominant classes impose their political, intellectual and moral values ​​on society, with the aim of welding and managing power around a common sense shared by all social classes, especially the subordinate ones.

Il caruggio di Sestri la mattina del 13 novembre

Carrugio la mattina del 13 novembre

Caruggio la mattina del 13 novembre.
La via più famosa della mia cittadina, Sestri Levante, fotografata in una mattina novembrina.
Solamente qualche giorno fa, una giornata soleggiata ha interrotto le piogge continue e le allerte meteo.
Mi piace fotografare il caruggio specialmente quando ci sono poche persone (ed è veramente difficile trovarlo vuoto); c’è sempre qualcuno che cammina su e giù.

The Stone in Pila on the Gromolo in Sestri Levante

La Lapide di Pila

The Lapide di Pila sul Gromolo in Sestri Levante.
This is the famous marble slab that gives its name to this area of ​​Sestri Levante.
In the hamlet of Pila sul Gromolo, as soon as you exit the motorway, the second roundabout (the one that joins via Nazionale, via Aurelia, via Giorgio Bo and via Sara).
Now, to tell the truth, it is really difficult to read what is written; the small plaque with the transcription helps us:

“To King Carlo Alberto
Since by His decree the path from Sestri to Varese has been made a road
and has been covered with gravel and equipped with protections
the inhabitants of Sestri, Casarza, Castiglione, Maissana, Varese
who have obtained the benefit of more agile transits thanks to the excellent and far-sighted Prince
in the year 1834
during the ministry for internal affairs
of the reign of Antonio Tonduti Count of L’Escarène”

Today the decumanus maggiore is one of the most important streets in the historic center of Naples (declared a World Heritage Site in 1995) and corresponds to today's via dei Tribunali, still following the ancient Greek road axis entirely. Precisely because it is a road structure originating from ancient Greece, it would be more appropriate to speak of plateia and not of "decumanus", a name from the Roman era that by convention has replaced the original.
