A special house in Sestri Levante

Una casa particolare in via Antica Romana Occidentale

A particular house in via Antica Romana Occidentale in Sestri Levante.
Walking along via Antica Romana, at the height of via Lombardia there is this very particular pink house.
Very long, narrow and low with the roof slopes having very mild cracks.
The fact that it is narrow perhaps depends on the fact that the house was built between the main road and the via Giacomo Campodonico behind it.

You can find, and if you want to add, a lot of information and the history of the house in the comments.

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.

Where is the photo point:

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.
