A glimpse of the historic center of Lavagna.
Walking through the center of the beautiful town on the Gulf of Tigullio, I was, for the umpteenth time, to see and photograph the Torre del Borgo and the beautiful garden that lies in front of it.
This is the little violet that reaches it.

The beautiful Senarega square in the alleys of Genoa

La bella piazza Senarega nei vicoli di Genova

The beautiful Piazza Senarega in the alleys of Genoa.
In the heart of Genoa, hidden among the alleys of the historic center, lies the suggestive Piazza Senarega. This picturesque corner is an architectural and historical jewel that tells the authentic soul of the city.
The square takes its name from the ancient and noble Senarega family, who in the Middle Ages owned several properties in the area. Today, Piazza Senarega is a quiet refuge from the lively activity of the city center, characterized by a cobblestone pavement and surrounded by historic buildings that bear witness to the passing of the centuries.
One of the main points of interest is the Church of San Torpete, a small baroque church that dominates the square with its simple but elegant facade. The church, restored over the years, is a perfect example of local religious architecture and a place of peace and reflection.
Walking through Piazza Senarega means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of times gone by, where every stone seems to tell a story. The narrow streets that lead to the square offer unique and unexpected views, making this place a must-see for those who want to discover the true essence of Genoa.
Visiting Piazza Senarega does not only mean exploring a hidden corner of the city, but also living an experience that combines history, art and culture in an authentically Genoese environment.

Here's exactly where the square is located:

A few steps from Via degli Orefici and Via Banchi is the charming Piazza Senarega. The toponym of the site originates from the name of the noble family of the same name originally from the Scrivia Valley. The absolute protagonist of the square is the luxurious palace, built around 1590, of Gio. Batta Senarega.

I love walking through the historic center of Genoa even if I'm always a little uncomfortable taking photos with so many people in front of me.
For this reason I never get very clear photos in this Genoese "alley".

The Costa Diadema seen from the streets of Stavanger

The Costa Diadema seen from the streets of Stavanger.
Until a few months ago I was on board the Costa Diadema (of Costa Crociere) doing fjord cruises.
After many years I went out for a walk in the colorful neighborhood of Fargegaten (which I absolutely didn't remember) and from there the yellow chimney of the ship was sticking out.

Have you ever taken a Costa cruise to the fjords?

Costa Diadema is a cruise ship of the Genoese company Costa Crociere. Upon completion, it was the largest ship ever built under the Italian flag. On 30 October 2014, the public launch took place in the same shipyard, giving way to the inaugural events, while on 1 November it set sail for the vernissage cruise departing from Trieste. On 7 November, the ship was christened in the port of Genoa.

Vico del Duca in the historic center of Genoa.
Walking along the splendid Via Garibaldi, perhaps the most beautiful street in Genoa, several alleys start off that lead down to the most hidden alleys of the historic center.
One of them is this one that starts right in front of Palazzo Doria Tursi.

Here's where this exact point is located:

In Via Garibaldi in front of the Palazzo del Comune of Genoa is the vico del Duca. The caruggio is called this way precisely because of the name of the palace of the Duke of Tursi, seat of the first citizen of Genoa. Tursi is a town in Basilicata that was granted as a fief in 1552 to Admiral Andrea Doria as a marquisate (later duchy) by Emperor Charles V.

Grillo Spinola Palace in Greek square in Genoa
I love getting lost in the alleys of the historic center of Genoa and photographing everything that seems interesting to me.
Then, when I can, I try to find out more about what my lens had captured.
Like this beautiful palace, located between Piazza dei Greci and Piazza delle Vigne, which I discovered to be a medieval palace built by the Spinola family.

Here is where the palace is located:

The stone portico on the ground floor dating back to the Middle Ages is still preserved, of which the pointed arch on Piazza delle Vigne is broken due to the insertion of two windows, while the lateral arch on Via delle Vigne is still perfectly intact and clearly visible. Furthermore, the hanging crowning arches between the loggia on the ground floor and the first floor have been maintained, although they feature decoration from later periods.

Uno scorcio di Vico Sotto le Murette a Genova.
Mi piace moltissimo scoprire scorci del centro storico di Genova e, forse ancora di più, preparare i post cercando sulle mappe i nomi delle vie e la storia dei luoghi.
Questo punto si trova poco sotto alla famosa piazza di Campopisano e questa creuza è una di quelle che portano a quel luogo.

Uno scorcio di Vico Sotto le Murette a Genova

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Canon EF-M 11-22.

Here is the spot where I took these photos:

Il centro storico di Genova è il nucleo della città vecchia organizzato nel dedalo di vicoli (caruggi) di origine medievale che si sviluppa – da est ad ovest – dalla collina di Carignano alla stazione FS di Genova Piazza Principe, a ridosso di quello che era il Palazzo del Principe, residenza dell’ammiraglio Andrea Doria. Urbanisticamente la zona fa parte del Municipio I Centro-Est. È da notare comunque che l’attuale territorio comunale nasce dalla fusione, avvenuta a più riprese a partire dalla seconda metà del XIX secolo, della Genova storica con i comuni e le cittadine adiacenti (ora quartieri), alcuni dei quali dotati di propri centri storici più o meno antichi e urbanisticamente rivoluzionati negli anni.
