Button Alley in Sestri Levante

The alley called the button in the historic center of Sestri Levante.
In the picturesque historic center of Sestri Levante, a small and charming passage is known as the Vico del Bottone. This narrow alley, rich in history and character, offers an authentic glimpse into the life and traditions of this charming Ligurian town.
The Vico del Bottone probably owes its name to a local legend or perhaps to an old button shop that once stood here. Craftsmen's workshops were common in the narrow alleys of Italian cities, and this small shop may have served both locals and passing sailors. Over time, the name "Vico del Bottone" has become a testimony to the daily life and economic activities that characterized the Sestri Levante of the past.
The Vico del Bottone is a perfect example of traditional Ligurian architecture. Its narrow walls, pastel-colored facades and flower-filled balconies create an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The solid wooden arches and doorways tell stories of times gone by, while details such as slate doorposts give the alley a touch of romance and mystery.
Walking through Vico del Bottone, you can admire the simple yet charming beauty of the historic houses, many of which date back centuries and one in particular called Casa delle Viti covered with an imposing vine plant (seen in the photo). The narrow streets invite visitors to slow down and enjoy the quiet pace of life in a Ligurian town.
Despite its central location, Vico del Bottone remains a place of peace and tranquility. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets, this hidden corner offers a perfect refuge for those seeking a moment of serenity. Here, you can find a bench to sit and reflect, enjoying the beauty and calm of the alley.
Visiting Vico del Bottone is like stepping back in time. This small but precious corner of Sestri Levante offers a unique perspective on the history and daily life of the city. It is a place where the past meets the present, and where every stone tells a story.
In conclusion, Vico del Bottone is one of the many hidden gems of Sestri Levante, a place that deserves to be discovered and appreciated for its beauty and timeless charm. Walking through this alley, you can breathe the authentic Ligurian atmosphere and discover a piece of the history of this enchanting coastal town.

Vico del Campo: un ingresso al centro di Genova

Vico del Campo: un vicolo di ingresso al centro storico di Genova.
Il centro storico di Genova, uno dei più grandi d’Europa, è una miniera infinita di scorci da fotografare.
Tutte le volte che vengo in città porto con me la mia macchina fotografica per scattare a più non posso.
Questo, ad esempio, è il piccolo vicolo (vico appunto) che da via Sottoripa (la stada che corre parallela al mare da piazza Caricamanto verso Ponente) porta alla famosa Via del Campo.
Con il suo arco di sbatacchio in bella mostra.

La zona, citata inizialmente come “Campus Sarzanni” poiché situata in prossimità della piazza di Sarzano, sarebbe stata ribattezzata con l’appellativo di Campo Pisano dopo la vittoria riportata dalla flotta genovese sui pisani nella battaglia della Meloria (1284); infatti, secondo la tradizione in questo luogo, all’epoca appena fuori dalle mura, sarebbero stati confinati migliaia di prigionieri pisani, la maggior parte dei quali, morti di fame e di stenti, sarebbero stati sepolti in quello stesso luogo.

A creuza that goes towards the port of Genoa
Every time I walk around Genoa I always take dozens of photos even if I can't always remember exactly where I was.
This is the case: we are in the area behind via Mura delle Grazie but I can't find the exact point.
However, this brick alley leads from the alley upstream towards the sea front and the port.
