The porticos and the Basilica of Santo Stefano in via Venti.
When I walk along via Venti Settembre in Genoa, passing under the porticos on the sea side (let's say) the view always takes in the beautiful Basilica of Santo Stefano and the porticos that "support" it.
The charm of the two-tone style perhaps embellishes the view.

An alley in the historic center of Sestri Levante.
The historic center of Sestri Levante is that part of the town between the two famous bays (Baia del Silenzio and Baia delle Favole).
The most characteristic part is certainly the part near the Baia del Silenzio where in ancient times there were the fishermen's houses and the main activities.
In fact, this alley is called Vico Macelli, precisely to make it clear the type of activity that took place there.

The charming Via Garibaldi in the center of Sestri Levante.
Via Garibaldi, formerly known as “Via dell’Oro”, is one of the most charming streets in Sestri Levante, a picturesque town located on the Ligurian coast. Named after the famous Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi, this street is a place rich in history and culture, perfect for a relaxing stroll.
The street was known as “Via dell’Oro” because of the mineral riches of the Libiola area, located nearby. Libiola was famous for its copper mines, which were exploited intensively since Roman times. The extracted minerals were piled up in warehouses along Via Garibaldi waiting to be transported by sea. The nickname comes from the shine of some of these metals.
Via Garibaldi is characterized by historic buildings dating back to different periods, offering a mix of architectural styles that reflect the rich history of the town. The colorful facades of the houses and the unique architectural details make this street a real gem for art and history lovers.
One of the main points of interest of Via Garibaldi is its proximity to the sea. A few steps from the street, visitors can reach the beautiful beaches of Sestri Levante, such as Baia del Silenzio and Baia delle Favole. These beaches are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking views of the Ligurian Sea.

An unusual view of Lavagna for me.
Walking along via Emanuele Pessagno I saw this glimpse of the beautiful houses of via Dante Alighieri but from the back.
You can also see the bell towers of the Basilica of Santo Stefano.
Have you ever seen Lavagna from this perspective?
