The arcades with black slate floors from Lavagna
The small village of Lavagna is famous throughout the world for the quality of its black stone, slate, which was quarried in the mountains behind it.
This “black gold” was also used extensively as decoration and as floor tiles.
As in this portico, located in via Dante Alighieri (near the Basilica of Santo Stefano), where the floor is covered with this polished stone.

Here is the spot where this porch is located:

Slate (also called Lavagna stone) is a metamorphic rock of sedimentary origin (Metamarna in pumpellyite-actinolite facies). It is a variety of calcareous-clayey schists easily divisible into thin, flat, light, impermeable and weather-resistant sheets, resulting from low-grade metamorphism of sedimentary rocks formed by the deposition of a very fine silt (marl) due to the erosion of ancient reliefs. Slate is a rock classified as soft or semi-hard. It is a compact stone, leaden-black in color and easily workable.

Questa parte della cittadina lavagnese mi piace molto: via Dante Alighieri e’ quella strada che taglia tutto il centro passando di fronte alla Basilica di Santo Stefano.
Ha la particolarità di avere il pavimento dei portici in ardesia nera ed, in questa punto preciso (all’incorcio con via Alessandro Manzoni) , ci sono diverse osterie e locande che animano la via.

I really like taking photos in the area of ​​the Basilica of Santo Stefano in Lavagna. In addition to the splendid churchyard (which I have photographed many times) and the beautiful Brignardello portico, in this shot I photographed the street that passes through the square, via Dante Alighieri, from the terrace that is built above the portico itself.
A new point of view!
