A nice plate of trenette with lobster sauce. To tell the truth, I don't even remember where I ate this excellent pasta dish. I wrote that it is prepared with lobster sauce but it could very well be lobster. I have already written the recipe for you in this articolo.

Contrary to popular belief, the lobster and the crawfish are only loosely related, belonging to two distinct infraorders of the same suborder. By comparison, these two species are as closely related as humans are to tarsiers. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

Here's where I took the photo from:
The islands on which Murano stands are located along the Marani canal and are divided by canals and streams and connected to each other by bridges; their territory is totally urbanized, excluding Sacca San Mattia, still being reclaimed. Two islands are of artificial origin: Sacca Serenella and Sacca San Mattia. The center is known throughout the world for the centuries-old artisan activity that produces Murano glass.

The fishermen's shacks on the Nervi promenade in Genoa. The Nervi promenade, with its breathtaking view of the sea and its lush gardens, is one of the most fascinating places in Genoa. Among its most characteristic corners, the fishermen's shacks stand out, which tell stories of a past linked to the sea and fishing. These small buildings carved into a ravine in the rocky coast, painted in bright colors, a few steps from the waves that crash on the rocks. The shacks are used by local fishermen to store their nets, fishing gear and boats. However, many of these shacks are now half abandoned, silent witnesses of an era that seems far away. Walking along the Nervi promenade, you can observe the silence that envelops these sheds. The salty scent of the water mixes with the smell of fresh fish, creating an authentic and evocative atmosphere. The shacks, with their faded colors and closed doors, tell stories of a time when fishing was a vital part of everyday life. They are not only places of work, but also meeting and socializing points. Often, old fishermen gather to exchange advice, tell stories of the sea and share moments of conviviality. These meetings strengthen the sense of community and belonging, creating deep bonds between people. The Nervi promenade, with its fishermen's shacks, represents a perfect combination of nature and tradition. It is a place where time seems to have stopped, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in an authentic and genuine atmosphere. The shacks, with their colors and stories, add a touch of magic to this corner of Genoa, making it a unique and unforgettable place.

Piazza Gio Cademartori in Chiavari. I photographed this alley a while ago and as always I try to find out more about who the person to whom a name is dedicated in the topography was. In this case this alley is called Piazza Gio Cademartori (I think Gio Batta). Unfortunately I have not found anything online that explains who this gentleman was and I invite visitors to write to me.

The caruggio of Sestri Levante one morning in late February. One morning in late February, the caruggio of Sestri Levante slowly wakes up under a grey and cloudy sky. The narrow streets of the historic center, with their colorful buildings and closed shutters, still seem asleep. The air is fresh and pungent, typical of this time of year, and the silence is interrupted only by the sound of footsteps of the few passers-by who venture out into the streets. The shops begin to open their doors, revealing windows full of local and artisan products. The shopkeepers greet the first customers of the day with a smile, while the scent of freshly brewed coffee spreads through the air, inviting you to take a regenerating break. The bars and pastry shops slowly fill up with people who indulge in a quiet breakfast, enjoying brioches and cappuccinos. The caruggio, with its ancient stones and hidden corners, tells stories of a distant past. The facades of the houses, with their bright colors, create a fascinating contrast with the gray sky, making the landscape even more suggestive. The plants and flowers on the balconies add a touch of life and color, while the cats prowl furtively, exploring every corner. The morning advances and the caruggio becomes more and more animated. Tourists begin to peep out, curious to discover the beauties of Sestri Levante. The tour guides lead small groups through the streets, telling anecdotes and curiosities about the history of the place. The squares fill with voices and laughter, while the children play carefree. Despite the uncertain weather, the caruggio of Sestri Levante retains its unique charm. It is a place where the past and the present meet, creating a magical and welcoming atmosphere. On a morning in late February, walking through these streets is an experience that warms the heart and soul, leaving indelible memories.

The excellent pansoti with walnut sauce also at home. Pansoti with walnut sauce is a typical dish of the Ligurian tradition, loved for its rich flavor and simplicity. This specialty, originally from the Riviera di Levante, is perfect for those who want to bring a bit of Liguria to the table, even at home. Pansoti, or pansotti, are a variety of stuffed pasta, similar to ravioli, but triangular or crescent-shaped. The traditional filling is based on preboggion, a mix of wild herbs typical of Liguria, ricotta and parmesan. Their particularity lies in the delicacy of the filling, which marries perfectly with the creaminess of the walnut sauce. Walnut sauce is a creamy and tasty condiment, prepared with walnuts, bread soaked in milk, garlic, parmesan, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Its preparation is simple, but requires high-quality ingredients to obtain the best result. The walnuts must be fresh and well shelled, while the olive oil must be extra virgin to ensure an authentic flavor. Pansoti with walnut sauce is a dish that conquers at first taste. Perfect for a dinner with family or friends, they bring the authentic flavors of Liguria to the table. Preparing them at home is a way to rediscover Italian culinary traditions and share moments of conviviality. In this case both the pansoti and the walnut sauce were the packaged (but very good) ones from the pasta factory Novella in Sori.

Pansoti, pansòti in Ligurian, (from the Ligurian pansa, in Italian “belly”), are a typical stuffed pasta of Ligurian cuisine, similar to ravioli, from which they differ essentially in size and the absence of meat in the filling. Pansoti with walnut sauce (pansöti co-a sarsa de noxe) are one of the cheapest and most characteristic dishes of the Genoese tradition. Since pansoti do not contain meat, they are a lean dish, once considered suitable for the penitential period of Lent. They are often mistakenly also called “pansòtti”, as in some Ligurian provinces there is verbal emphasis on the last syllables; the double letter is therefore to be attributed to an exclusively vocal language.

Details of the facade of the Cathedral of Spoleto. The Cathedral of Spoleto, officially known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is one of the architectural jewels of Umbria. Its facade, a masterpiece of art and engineering, tells the story of centuries of transformations and artistic influences. The facade of the Cathedral of Spoleto is the result of work carried out in several stages. In the first order, the central portal and the lateral ones are located inside a Renaissance portico built between the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century by Ambrogio di Antonio Barocci and his workshop. On the sides, two pulpits overlook the square, creating a scenographic effect that welcomes visitors. The central portal, known as Porta Paradisi, is one of the greatest examples of classicism in the Romanesque era. On the jambs and the architrave, you can admire a valuable sculptural decoration that represents biblical scenes and Christian symbols. This portal is not just an entrance, but a real story carved in stone. In the second order of the facade, there are five rose windows, made by the end of the 12th century. The central rose window, which measures about four meters in diameter, is inserted in a square frame where the symbols of the four evangelists are carved. These rose windows not only illuminate the interior of the cathedral, but add a touch of elegance and majesty to the facade. In the third order of the facade, divided from the second by a string course and hanging arches, is decorated by three pointed arches. The central arch is dominated by the mosaic made in 1207 by the mosaic artist Solsterno. This mosaic, with its bright colors and intricate geometries, is an extraordinary example of medieval art. The facade of the Cathedral of Spoleto is an open book on history and art. Every detail, every sculpture, every decoration tells a part of the history of the city and its cathedral. Walking in front of this facade is like taking a journey through time, discovering the wonders that have fascinated generations of visitors.

Where is the cathedral located:
The cathedral was built between 1151 and 1227 on the site of a pre-existing building; it was part of the Vaita De Domo. It was consecrated by Pope Innocent III in 1198. Inside, in the apse, there is the valuable cycle of frescoes by Filippo Lippi Stories of the Virgin, painted in the last years of the artist's life, between May 1467 and September 1469.

The Anita Garibaldi promenade in Genoa Nervi. The promenade has ancient origins, dating back to 1823, when it was a simple path used by local fishermen and farmers to reach fishing spots and farmland. In 1862, the Marquis Gaetano Gropallo began work to transform this path into a real seaside promenade, initially divided into two sections. The first section connected the small port of Nervi with the ancient Gropallo tower, while the second section, completed in 1872, connected via Serra Gropallo with Capolungo. Today, the Anita Garibaldi promenade is a favorite destination for both Genoese and tourists. Its exclusive pedestrianization, introduced in 1959, makes it ideal for relaxing walks, jogging, and moments of contemplation of the sea. Along the path, you can find numerous bars and beach resorts, as well as steps that allow access to the sea and natural pools formed by the rocks. One of the points of interest along the walk is the Gropallo Tower, built in the 16th century as part of the defensive system against pirate attacks. The tower, which takes its name from the Marquis Gropallo, has been restored several times over the centuries and today represents a historical symbol of the area. Adjacent to the walk, the Nervi Parks offer a green oasis with a wide variety of botanical species, including palms and cedars, and the Luigi Viacava Rose Garden, famous for its over 200 varieties of roses. The parks also host museums of modern and contemporary art, located in the historic villas Gropallo, Saluzzo Serra, Grimaldi Fassio and Luxoro. Nervi is also home to important cultural events, such as Euroflora, one of the most spectacular floral displays, and the International Ballet and Music Festival, which has regained its historical prestige. These events attract visitors from all over the world, helping to make the promenade and the surrounding parks a center of culture and beauty.
