Palaces in the Caruggio Dritto of Chiavari.
The Caruggio Dritto, also known as Via Martiri della Liberazione, is the beating heart of the historic center of Chiavari. This pedestrian street is famous for its medieval porticos and the magnificent palaces that line it, representing a real journey through time.
The Caruggio Dritto is one of the oldest and best preserved streets in Liguria. The palaces that overlook this street date back mainly to the period between the 14th and 18th centuries. These buildings are characterized by decorated facades, elegant porticos and architectural details that reflect the historical and cultural importance of the city.
The Most Significant Palaces:

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.
