Vico Macelli nel centro storico di Sestri Levante

Vico Macelli in the historic center of Sestri Levante.
One of the most characteristic alleys of my town and one of those that I love to photograph the most.
I have already talked about it in other posts and it has already been explained that probably in this area there were places where meat was processed in the past.

The hidden Vico Macelli in the center of Sestri Levante.
In the heart of the historic center of Sestri Levante, between the narrow streets and the ancient walls, lies the charming Vico Macelli. This small alley, often overlooked by tourists, hides a rich history and a unique charm that deserves to be discovered.
Vico Macelli takes its name from the old slaughterhouses that once stood in this area. Walking through the alley, you can almost hear the echoes of the activities of the past, when the butchers worked tirelessly to provide fresh meat to the inhabitants of the village. Today, the ancient structures have been transformed, but still retain traces of their past, visible in the stones and architecture that tell stories of a distant era.
Despite its central location, Vico Macelli offers an oasis of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. The stone houses, with their flower-filled balconies and colorful shutters, create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. It is the ideal place for a slow walk, where every corner can reveal a surprise, such as a small hidden garden or an ancient fountain.
The alley is also a point of reference for art lovers. Near Vico Macelli there is a space dedicated to the painter Dina Bellotti, who has left a significant mark on the local culture. Her works, exhibited in various points of the village, add an artistic touch that further enriches the experience of those who visit this area.
Visiting Vico Macelli means immersing yourself in the authenticity of Sestri Levante. It is a place where time seems to have stopped, allowing visitors to live a genuine and profound experience. Whether you are a history buff, an art lover or simply looking for a quiet corner, Vico Macelli will win you over with its discreet charm and timeless beauty.

I really like photographing the alleys and corners of the historic center of Sestri Levante.
This small village within the village that goes from the Bay of Silence to the Bay of Fairy Tales and up to the end of the alley.
This corner, which is right in front of the church of San Pietro in Vincoli, if I'm not mistaken, is called Vico Macelli.
