A glimpse of Tellaro, the splendid seaside village

Uno scorcio di Tellaro, splendido borgo marinaro in Liguria

A glimpse of Tellaro, a splendid seaside village in Liguria.
One of the Ligurian seaside villages with the most creuze and alleys that I can remember visiting.
In the province of La Spezia and perched on a small promontory overlooking the sea, it has a small labyrinth of stairs, arches and alleys in which it is wonderful to get lost.

The Embriaci Tower in the historic center of Genoa

La Torre degli Embriaci nel centro storico di Genova

The Torre degli Embriaci in the historic center of Genoa.
Wandering around the historic center of Genoa, among the alleys that rise from the Porto Antico towards the modern center of the city, it is easy to come across beautiful and well-preserved buildings and monuments.
Like this 12th century tower built thanks to the riches obtained from the crusades.

The Embriaci Tower, also called the Embriaci Tower, located in the oldest part of Genoa, where the “castrum” stood, is linked to the name of Guglielmo Embriaco who “crusader […] returned victorious from Cesarea”. It is the only one of the many towers that were located in the current historic center of Genoa to have been spared by the edict of 1196 that wanted all the city towers to be cut to 80 palms.

To see all the photos I took in the village click here:

Between the 7th and 8th centuries, following the conquest of Liguria by the Lombards, the Columban monks of Bobbio, who followed the rule of Saint Columbanus and continued their work of evangelization, built a monastery that over time grew to become a religious and economic nerve center. The birth of Brugnato is therefore linked to the foundation of the abbey which, like other monastic sites in Liguria and northern Italy, depended on the abbey of San Colombano di Bobbio.

Il chiostro di Santa Maria delle Vigne a Genova

Il chiostro di Santa Maria delle Vigne nel centro storico di Genova.
Nel centro dei vicoli di Genova, un poco nascosta dal passaggio dei frequentatori meno assidui, c’è la bella basilica di Santa Maria delle Vigne, chiesa splendida oltre tutto.
Di lato alla chiesa c’è il bel chiostro, costruito attorno all’anno Mille su cui si affacciavano le abitazioni dei canonici.

E tu hai mai visitato la chiesa ed il chiostro? Aggiungi un comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

To see all the photos I took in the basilica, click here:

Costruita come basilica romanica a tre navate aveva il tetto a capriate a vista, il transetto poco sporgente con tiburio ottagonale e tre absidi semicircolari. In origine la navata centrale era separata da quelle laterali mediante una serie di otto colonne per lato, sopra le quali correva un finto matroneo composto da una fila di trifore affiancate.

I palazzi su piazza Santa Brigida a Genova

I palazzi che si affacciano su piazza Santa Brigida a Genova.
Una delle piazze più belle di Genova, famosa perché ospita i vecchi “truogoli” (i lavatoi pubblici), ma i cui palazzi sono molto belli.
A me piace soprattutto, oltre ai colori delle facciate, la serie di merletti (non sono sicuro che si chiamino così) che separano il piano terra dal primo piano.

In the centre of a small square that opens up into the maze of alleys between Via Balbi and Via Prè, surrounded by tall buildings, which were restored in the mid-1980s, are the “truogoli di Santa Brigida”, with an elegant metal roof, one of the few survivors of the numerous public wash houses that existed until the 1960s in every corner of the city.

Il vicolo dal bronzin a Lavagna.

Clothes hanging out to dry in Via dei Tribunali in Naples

I panni stesi in via dei Tribunali a Napoli

Clothes hanging out to dry in via dei Tribunali in Naples.
The characteristic alley in the historic center of Naples decorated with clothes hanging out to dry (especially in the initial part of the street) that go from one building to the one in front.
At this point it is clearly a gimmick to welcome tourists but (as also happens in Genoa) in the alleys of the historic centers they are often seen and are actually used to hang out clothes.

Today the decumanus maggiore is one of the most important streets in the historic center of Naples (declared a World Heritage Site in 1995) and corresponds to today's via dei Tribunali, still following the ancient Greek road axis entirely. Precisely because it is a road structure originating from ancient Greece, it would be more appropriate to speak of plateia and not of "decumanus", a name from the Roman era that by convention has replaced the original.
