Via Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi in Chiavari.
Some time ago I was walking along Via Fiume, in Chiavari, and my gaze (and my cell phone) fell on this staircase (I would say a typical Ligurian creuza) that since I was a kid I have always called "the climb to Caboto".
When I decided to publish the photo, I discovered that it was dedicated to Mr. Descalzi who I discovered was the creator of the Chiavarina chair, one of the artistic excellences of my area.
Do you know this street and, above all, the character to whom it is dedicated? Add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

The Chiavari chair is still produced today by a company from Chiavari: levaggisedie.it.
Here's where the street is:
In 1807 the Marquis of Rivarola challenged him to produce a new chair inspired by a model brought from Paris, thus creating the Chiavari chair, or chiavarina, which became extremely popular. His sons Emanuele and Giacomo and their descendants continued production, and several factories opened in Chiavari and the surrounding area, developing the furniture industry that is still present in the area today.

I refer you to the Chiavari tourist promotion website: chiavariturismo.it. This is the official website of the town's municipality: comune.chiavari.ge.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
Every time I look for some book about the beautiful town of Chiavari I always come across these two books about its mysteries: Luoghi Misteriosi Chiavari. Giro della città in 38 segreti and La Loggia dei Rosa+Croce di Chiavari. If instead you want to have a guide that talks about Liguria and the Gulf of Tigullio in general I invite you to buy: Genova e il Tigullio by Lonely Planet.

C’è un ex collegio.. istituto di studio e lavoro.. con molte mie compagne ci ho trascorso la mia infanzia e con altre l’adolescenza. Il ricordo di questa salita è sempre molto forte e triste, anche se gli anni lì ci hanno rese forti. Basta poco che i ricordi ci affiorano alla mente. Noi la chiamavamo la salita del collegio.
Grazie per aver condiviso il ricordo
Questa salita ha un nome “Salita Descalzi” un tempo prosieguo di Via Gaetano Descalzi per salire a Bacezza, quando Via Fiume da mare verso monte terminava contro un muro che racchiudeva la proprietà Castagnola.
Bellissima salita verso Bacezza
Se non sbaglio, un tempo chiamata “Montâ di Fratti o di Cappussin”
Bellissima salita, bellissimi ricordi,ha determinato la mia vita e quella di altre piccole bimbe.
Grazie per aver condiviso il ricordo
