The Archivolt of Via Gerolamo Boccardo in Genoa

L'Archivolto di via Gerolamo Boccardo a Genova

The Archivolt of Via Gerolamo Boccardo in Genoa
Walking along the beautiful Via XX Settembre in Genoa, as I have already written to you many times, I almost always keep my nose in the air to enjoy all the beauty and details found there.
Just like this beautiful archivolt (or perhaps it is more of a terrace) that unites these two buildings, giving rise to the short street dedicated to an illustrious Genoese: Gerolamo Boccardo.

Here is where the archivolt is located:

Gerolamo Boccardo (Genoa, March 16, 1829 – Rome, March 20, 1904) was an Italian economist and politician. He was a senator of the Kingdom of Italy in the XIII legislature. After completing his high school studies, in 1844 he enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the University of Genoa, but the political commitments he soon took on made him delay his graduation, which he obtained only on July 2, 1849. In 1847 he was elected president of the Società Entellica di Chiavari, recently moved to Genoa. During this period he worked as a journalist at the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, working to promote the transformation of the newspaper from an exclusively commercial newspaper to a political and economic newspaper.

Il portico di via Ceccardo Roccatagliata Ceccardi

Il portico di via Ceccardo Roccatagliata Ceccardi a Genova.
Tutte le volte che percorro la splendida via XX Settembre a Genova cammino sempre con il naso all’insù per godermi le splendide architetture che la abbelliscono.
Oltre ai portici ed ai palazzi eleganti ci sono anche diversi punti in cui le strade laterali sono coperte, all”incrocio, con la continuazione dei portici.
Non so nemmeno come chiamare queste strutture: terrazze, archivolti, portici?
Questa è quella da cui parte via Ceccardo Roccatagliata Ceccardi e che si congiunge a piazza Dante.

Here's where the exact point is:

Ceccardo Roccatagliata Ceccardi (Genova, 6 gennaio 1871 – Genova, 3 agosto 1919) è stato un poeta italiano. È stato un precursore della poesia ligure del Novecento che va da Camillo Sbarbaro a Eugenio Montale, ma nella sua formazione s’incrociano anche residui carducciani e inquietudini decadenti che rinviano a Pascoli, a D’Annunzio e ai simbolisti francesi. Nelle sue composizioni migliori s’avverte un teso lirismo che si placa a tratti in eleganti movenze elegiache o in dense evocazioni del paesaggio ligure.

Particolare di una casa a Sant’Anna

Particolare di una casa a Sant’Anna.
Questo è il particolare di una delle ultime case di Sestri Levante lungo l’Aurelia in direzione Genova.
Siamo a Sant’Anna o a Pietra Calante (non so esattamente quale sia il luogo corretto) in una delle case che sembrano la prosecuzione di Villa Sertorio.
Il particolare che mi ha colpito è il disegno, al centro di quel balcone e molto semplificato, del araldo di Sestri Levante: una isola con due torri.

Padlocks under Juliet's terrace

Lucchetti sotto al terrazzo di Giulietta

Padlocks under Juliet's terrace
The new craze among lovers is to leave them in special places with the names of the two lovers written on them.
What better place than the cloister where there is the terrace of perhaps the most famous “lover” in the world: Juliet!

Il terrazzo di Giulietta

Il terrazzo di Giulietta.
Nella mia due giorni tra Salò e Brescia è stato possibile fare una scappata a Verona, città in cui non ero mai stato.
Ne è valsa veramente la pena, quante cose da vedere!
Questo, per esempio, e’ il balcone della casa di Giulietta:

Neptune on a terrace in Via Maria Teresa

La statua di Nettuno in via Maria Teresa a Sestri

The statue of Neptune on a terrace in via Maria Teresa in Sestri Levante.
This statue is the one that in my opinion captures the gaze of all those who pass by via Maria Teresa in Sestri Levante.
It represents the god Neptune pointing his finger at something (it is up to the viewer to imagine where).

Do you know this “famous” Sestri Levante terrace?

Neptune (Latin: Neptūnus) is a deity of Roman religion, god of water and currents, and later became, after 399 BC, the god of the sea and tidal waves, becoming the equivalent of the Greek god Poseidon. Despite the fact that his cult developed after his association with Poseidon, Neptune was always less popular among sailors than Poseidon was among the Greeks.
