The houses on the Sestri Peninsula seen from Ciappa du Lu. Some time ago now, I went to the famous rock called Ciappa du Lu (reachable from the path that starts from Sestri to go to Punta Manara). From there, with my telephoto lens, I took several photos of the Sestri Peninsula from an unusual (for me) perspective.

A wonderful window on the sea in Portovenere. Portovenere, a charming village located on the Ligurian coast, is known for its natural beauty and historical heritage. Among the many architectural treasures that adorn this picturesque village, one of the most famous is undoubtedly the quadrifora of the Church of San Pietro. The quadrifora, a window with four lights, is located just near the Church of San Pietro and looks towards the west. This architectural element is characterized by four small arches supported by three small columns, creating a visual effect of great elegance and lightness. The church itself, built in the 13th century by the Genoese, has a Gothic style with black and white bands that add a further touch of refinement. The position of the quadrifora offers a spectacular view of the sea to the west with the gaze that meets the Cinque Terre. This panoramic point is one of the most photographed in Portovenere, attracting visitors from all over the world who wish to capture the timeless beauty of this place. The combination of Gothic architecture and the seascape creates a unique and evocative atmosphere. The quadrifora of Portovenere is not only an architectural element of great aesthetic value, but also represents an important piece of history and culture. Its conservation is essential to keep alive the memory of the past and to continue to inspire future generations.

Sestri Levante vista dalla terrazza dell’Hotel Vis a Vis. Quando un paio di anni fa mi sono sposato ho scelto di fare la festa nel punto, che credo essere, il più panoramico di Sestri Levante: la terrazza dell’Hotel Vis a Vis. Da lì infatti si ha una vista incomparabile sulla Penisola sestrese e sulle due baie (la Baia del Silenzio e la Baia delle Favole) della mmia cittadina.

La cupola della Frederiks Kirke vista dalla nave. Oggi (a dire la verità diverso tempo fa) lo sguardo del mio obiettivo si è posato sulla mastodontica cupola di una delle più famose chiese di Copenaghen. Da uno dei ponti esterni della nave in cui lavoravo (la Costa Firenze) ormeggiata nel porto della capitale danese.

The church of San Martino del Monte in San Colombano Certenoli. Some time ago I went to eat in Carpenissone (alla Tagliola) and on the way back the view opened up onto the valleys that slope down towards the sea. Here ends the Valfontanabuona (but also the Valle Sturla). This beautiful panorama is dominated by this very old church dedicated to San Martino.

La spettacolare vista dalla cima del Monte Zatta. Qualche tempo fa, ormai, ero stato a camminare lungo il sentiero ad anello del Monte Zatta. Una delle passeggiate più belle che io ricordi di aver percorso con, all’apice, la spettacolare vista che si gode dalla cima!

The summit of the Zatta mountain massif consists of a long wavy ridge, crossed by an easy ridge path. On the outer edges of this ridge are the Zatta di Ponente mountain (1355 m) and the Prato Pinello mountain (1390 m). Between the two ends rises the main peak, the Zatta di Levante mountain (1404 m). The southern slope is steep and stony, while the northern slope, towards the Bocco pass, has a gentler slope and is covered by a large beech forest. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia
