The writing Hic manebimus optime on the climb of the Peninsula
The inscription Hic manebimus optime on the slope of the Peninsula.
Several times I have climbed the slope that leads to the top of the Sestri Levante Peninsula up to the church of San Nicolò. Only recently, however, I noticed this inscription in Latin Hic manebimus optime that is above an entrance at the back of the Hotel Due Mari and which precisely means "here we will be very well".

Hic manebimus optime (“We will be fine here”) is a phrase that has become famous as an expression of determination. It is reported by Titus Livius in his Roman History (Ab Urbe condita libri, V, 55), where it is attributed to a centurion who, in the historical moment of the sack of Rome (about 390/386 BC), which occurred during the Celtic invasions of the Italian peninsula, is said to have uttered it as an exhortation to his companions, indirectly influencing the subsequent decision of the Roman Senate not to abandon the city.
