A corner of Via Nazionale in Sestri Levante.
An unusual shot of Via Nazionale: without traffic, don't you think?
In reality, I took this photo at the end of last year's lockdown when the streets were still deserted.
What can I say, you can't see much from this photo of the various activities that take place around the Tomaso Bertollo nursery school (a deputy from the late 19th century), the pink building in the center of the photo.
Many activities, when I was a child, no longer exist or have been replaced.
There was the 2A stationery shop (where the Due Gabbiani pizzeria is today, even before Mrs. Nasi) to the left of the school, there was Tommasino, the shop that sold seeds and objects for farmers to the right of the school; On the other side of the road there was the florist (where Loris' fruit and vegetable shop is today), the Thea laundrette (now closed), the newsagent's (which is still there although under new management), the small tailor's shop and the Parchi bakery; a little further up there was the Il Genuino rotisserie of the good Maria while here on the right (not in the photo) Mario's dairy.
Memories that will slowly fade from my memory too unfortunately!
