Sempione Park in the center of Milan

Sempione Park in the center of Milan.
In the beating heart of Milan, among the majestic architecture and the urban effervescence, there is an oasis of tranquility and beauty: Sempione Park. This green lung of the city is a place where nature blends harmoniously with history and culture, offering a refreshing and inspiring refuge for Milanese and visitors.
Sempione Park, with its 47 hectares of extension, is located just behind the Sforza Castle, one of the historical icons of Milan. Its history dates back to the 19th century, when the architect Emilio Alemagna presented a plan to transform the area surrounding the castle into a public park. It was designed in the English Romantic style, following the trends of the time, with large lawns, ancient trees, ponds and winding paths.
Sempione Park boasts a series of iconic attractions that make it a must-see for residents and tourists:
The Arch of Peace: at the western end of the park stands the imposing Arch of Peace, inspired by the Arch of Constantine in Rome. Built in the 19th century in honor of Napoleon, it represents an icon of grandeur and majesty.
The Secret Gardens: inside the park there are enchanting hidden gardens, perfect for a romantic stroll or a moment of tranquility immersed in nature.
The Civic Aquarium of Milan: located inside an Art Nouveau building, the aquarium offers a surprising variety of marine species from all over the world, making it a fascinating destination for adults and children alike.
The Civic Arena: this ancient amphitheater hosts sporting events, concerts and cultural shows, adding vitality and dynamism to the park.

Parco Sempione is much more than just a green space; it is an inspiring refuge where nature, history and culture come together in a unique blend. It offers a rejuvenating break from the hustle and bustle of city life, encouraging relaxation, exploration and well-being. Whether you are a Milanese resident seeking serenity or a tourist eager to discover the most authentic side of the city, Parco Sempione will welcome you with open arms, offering you an unforgettable experience in the beating heart of Milan.

Here's where the park is located:

The name derives from Corso Sempione, the monumental road axis built in the Napoleonic era on the route of the historic Via del Seprio, with the new Porta Sempione, heir to the ancient Porta Giovia. Sempione Park stands where the Visconti ducal park called “Barcho” once stood and located near the Sforza Castle. It was enlarged and fenced by the Sforza family until it became over 3 million square meters (300 hectares) in size.

The small village of Carpenissone in Liguria

Il piccolo borgo di Carpenissone in Liguria

The small village of Carpenissone in Liguria.
Some time ago I was in Carpenissone and while I was reaching the small village (maybe village is even too much) I took this beautiful photo immersed in the greenery of the trees.
To tell the truth I was there to taste the ravioli at the famous trattoria La Tagliola.

Do you know this little village?

Una bella ninfea fotografata in un tempio in Vietnam

Una bella ninfea fotografata in un tempio in Vietnam.
Qualche mese fa sono stato in Vietnam e, in visita ad uno dei tanti templi del paese, ho fotografato questo bel fiore in un vaso.
Era il tempio Ngoc Hoa Monastic nella regione di Qui Nhon.

Photo taken with Canon EOS RP and lens Canon RF 24-50mm f/4,5-6,3 IS STM.

L’infiorescenza è formata da grandi fiori natanti generalmente solitari. La lunghezza del peduncolo, a sezione rotonda, è in funzione della profondità dell’acqua. Normalmente i fiori durano a lungo e si aprono durante il giorno solo a cielo sereno.

The cycle path in the Mandela Park in Sestri

Il tratto della pista ciclabile nel Parco Mandela a Sestri Levante

The stretch of the cycle path in the Mandela Park in Sestri Levante.
One of the most beautiful stretches of cycle path in my Sestri Levante is the one that crosses the Mandela Park.
On the left the athletics track while on the right, in addition to the many benches sheltered by the Mediterranean pines, the basketball court and the municipal swimming pool.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (Mvezo, 18 July 191 – Johannesburg, 5 December 2013) was a South African politician and activist, President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. Protagonist, with his predecessor Frederik de Klerk, of the end of apartheid and together with him awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, Mandela was the first South African president to be elected by universal suffrage and the first non-white to hold that office; a civil rights activist and lawyer, he had served 27 years in prison for his work for full recognition of the civil rights of members of non-white ethnic groups.

The beautiful Borzone Abbey near Borzonasca

La bella Abbazia di Borzone vicino a Borzonasca

The beautiful Borzone Abbey near Borzonasca.
I have already published some photos of the splendid Abbey dedicated to Sant’Andrea Apostolo which is a few kilometers from Borzonasca.
Surrounded by greenery and very well kept! Unfortunately, the last time I was there, it was closed and I could not photograph the interior.
A jewel absolutely worth visiting.

A historical-legendary peculiarity is that the abbey is located on the Sacred Line of San Michele, an imaginary straight connection between various monasteries in Europe.

La passeggiata a mare dalla Torre Fara a Chiavari

La passeggiata a mare dalla Torre Fara a Chiavari.
L’ultimo tratto della passeggiata a Chiavari che è stata restaurata un paio di anni fa.
Oltre alla Torre Fara (ex Colonia Fara) anche un paio di palazzi in stile e colori inusuali.

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Canon EF-S 10-18.

Ho anche fatto un video dalla passeggiata:

La struttura, intitolata alla memoria del generale Gustavo Fara, fu commissionata dal Partito Nazionale Fascista nel 1935 come luogo e soggiorno di villeggiatura marinaro per bambini, da utilizzarsi prevalentemente nel periodo estivo. L’edificio, esempio di razionalismo italiano, fu progettato da Camillo Nardi Greco e Lorenzo Castello e fu costruito tra il 1935 e il 1936.

The splendid Borzone Abbey near Borzonasca

La splendida Abbazia di Borzone nel comune di Borzonasca

The splendid Borzone Abbey in the municipality of Borzonasca.
Immersed in the greenery of the hills and mountains that slowly reach important peaks, the splendid church dedicated to Saint Andrew the Apostle is a little gem.
I came here to walk the path that leads from the abbey to the Megalithic Face (an enormous and very mysterious rock on whose surface a human face has been carved) and, if you want, to the abandoned church of San Martino di Licciorno.

A historical-legendary peculiarity is that the abbey is located on the Sacred Line of Saint Michael, an imaginary straight connection between various monasteries in Europe.

I muri coperti di verde e fiori di una bella villa a Paraggi

I muri coperti di verde e fiori di una bella villa a Paraggi.
Lungo la strada che da Santa Margherita Ligure va a Portofino, come tutti saprete ovviamente, ci sono moltissime ville meravigliose.
Quando si sta arrivando a Paraggi, lungo la strada, ho fotografato questo bel angolo di verde e fiori che ricoprivano i muri di una villa.
Lo spettacolo era maestoso.

I fiori della pianta della vite

I fiori della pianta della vite.
Una foto molto particolare di fiori: quelli della vite.
Non sono molto colorati e i petali sono verdi e poco sviluppati.
Dopo pochi giorni si trasformano nel cacchio!

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Canon EF-S 10-18.

I fiori sono riuniti in infiorescenze a pannocchia, dapprima erette, poi pendule (grappolo composto). Un grappolo è formato da un asse principale, detto rachide, che si ramifica in assi laterali a sua volta ramificati. Nello stesso grappolo possono essere presenti ramificazioni di II, III e IV ordine, generalmente decrescenti dalla base verso l’apice.

I parchi di Nervi a Genova

I parchi di Nervi a Genova.
Ogni tanto bisogna andare a Genova a farsi una passeggiata negli splendidi parchi di Nervi e tornare verso il porticciolo del borgo attraverso la altrettanto bella passeggiata a mare.
Tanto verde, tante piante e qualche villetta storica.
Proprio rilassante!
