The castle on the sea is a defensive position in Rapallo, in the metropolitan city of Genoa, built to defend the body of water near the Vittorio Veneto seafront. It is also called a medieval castle with an incorrect definition since the construction dates back only to the second half of the 16th century.

Una bella villa con torre a Sestri Levante

Una bella villa con torre a Sestri Levante

Una bella villa con torre a Sestri Levante.
Mi è sempre piaciuta quella villa con la torre annessa che fino da quando ero bambino ed andavo a praticare judo nella palestra di Santo Stefano del Ponte era lì.
Non so se sia una costruzione antica o abbastanza recente.
Credo anche di sapere chi la abitava ma non mi va di scriverlo per riservatezza.
Molto bella comunque.

Giotto's Bell Tower of Florence Cathedral

La torre di Giotto del duomo di Firenze

Giotto's bell tower of the Florence Cathedral.
You can't go to Florence and not stop to see the cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore) with its famous bell tower.
The colors of the entire work are a kaleidoscope of marble colors: white above all and then green and red.

The Giotto influence is especially evident in the pictorial nature of the refined covering in white marble (from the quarries of Campiglia Marittima and Pietrasanta), green (serpentine from Prato) and red (Monsummano Terme, Siena, Stazzema), and above all in the grandiose figurative cycle that adorns the base of the bell tower.
