A palace designed by Raffaele Croce in Genoa. I have seen (and I think photographed) this palace located in via XX Settembre, just a short distance from the Ponte Monumentale, several times but by searching and searching I managed to discover that it was designed in 1909 by Raffaele Croce. I really like its style and colors!

Number 26, characterised by a more mature and less academic style, has sea water as its main theme: spiral seaweed-shaped motifs that are repeated on the façade and as a constituent element of the antheris, leviathans that become finishing touches to the arches and uprights of the internal railings, dolphins and mythological motifs.

The porticos and motto of Genoa in Via XX Settembre. Via XX Settembre is one of the main arteries of Genoa, famous for its elegant and decorated porticos. These porticos, which extend along a large part of the street, are characterized by mosaic floors and richly decorated ceilings, with elements ranging from neo-Gothic to Art Nouveau style. An interesting detail is the motto found under one of the neo-Gothic porticos, near the Zara exit. The motto reads: “As the Griffin seizes these, so Genoa tears to pieces its enemies”. This motto, accompanied by a griffin seizing an eagle and a fox, dates back to the ancient Republic of Genoa. The eagle represents imperial authority, while the fox symbolizes Pisa, one of Genoa's main rivals.

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.

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.

Uno scorcio di Salita Salvatore Viale a Genova. A dire la verità in questo scatto non si vede proprio la salita che ho inserito nel titolo ma non sapevo proprio come nominare il post. In realtà si vede un bello scorcio di alcuni palazzi, ripresi da via Venti Settembre (all’altezza del Ponte Monumentale), che per essere raggiunti si deve percorrere la Salalita dedicata a Salvatore Vitale.
Aggiornamento: erroneamente avevo scritto Vitale senza trovare nessuna corrispondenza. Come mi hanno fatto notare in moltissimi c’era un errore di ortografia: il nome corretto è Salvatore Viale di cui ho trovato diverse informazioni!

Dove si trova il punto in cui ho scattato la foto:
Salvatore Viale (Bastia, 6 settembre 1787 – Bastia, 23 novembre 1861) è stato uno scrittore, poeta e magistrato còrso, il primo autore a impiegare la lingua corsa in un’opera di rilievo letterario, la Dionomachia (1817). Formatosi alle idee liberali, svolse un ruolo di rilievo nel recupero della tradizione culturale del popolo còrso e difese il ruolo della lingua italiana come lingua colta dell’isola. A Viale è stata dedicata una salita a Genova nei pressi della centralissima via XX Settembre (precedentemente intitolata ad Antoine Christophe Saliceti). Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

The two-tone arcades of Via Venti Settembre in Genoa. The two-tone arcades of Via Venti Settembre in Genoa are one of the most distinctive and fascinating architectural elements of the city. Via Venti Settembre is one of the main arteries of the center of Genoa and its arcades are known for their elegant two-tone decorations, a typical decorative style that uses two contrasting colors to create suggestive visual effects.
Typically, the two-tone effect is achieved using white marble and black slate, a local stone very common in Ligurian architecture. This contrast of colors creates a very strong and distinctive visual effect. The decorative motifs in the porticos often include geometric designs, such as stripes, diamonds, and zigzag patterns. These designs are designed to enhance the contrast between the two colors. Many of the buildings along Via Venti Settembre date back to the Italian Liberty (Art Nouveau) period, and the two-tone effect is used to emphasize the sinuous lines and floral details typical of this style. In addition to the aesthetic aspect, the two-tone effect also has a practical function, as dark stones, such as slate, are more resistant to wear and stains, so they are often used in areas subject to pedestrian traffic. The two-tone effect is not only an aesthetic choice, but also has a cultural and historical significance. It reflects the skill of the Genoese craftsmen and the historical richness of the city. It is an example of how architecture can incorporate artistic elements that tell a story and create a unique identity for a place.
Along Via Venti Settembre, some of the most iconic buildings with two-tone porticos include: Palazzo della Borsa: an example of Art Nouveau architecture with elaborate decorations. Chiesa della Consolazione: although not directly part of the porticos, it is a nearby landmark with a façade that incorporates two-tone elements. Palazzi dei Rolli: some of the historic buildings along the street display this type of decoration, although the Rolli themselves are better known for other architectural features.

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.

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. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia
