Caruggio or Carruggio, (a word that in the “official spelling” of Genoese should be written (Caroggio and pronounced Caruggiu, because in Ligurian the O is pronounced U), is the term used to indicate a street or alley, even a portico, typical of Ligurian historic centers.

The Pieve di Santo Stefano, a small and beautiful church in Rapallo. One of the most beautiful churches in the coastal town of Rapallo is certainly the Pieve di Santo Stefano which I photographed here from the gate that delimits its entrance (and which was closed that day). Together with the little church, you can see what I thought was the bell tower which is actually the civic tower of the city.

Beaches, piers and Bagni di Rapallo. In the eastern part of the Rapallo seafront, that part that starts from the Castle and reaches the Hotel Bristol, there are a series of small beaches and private bathing establishments and small piers that have always welcomed bathers in the summer. Even though I went to school in the coastal city for all of high school, I admit that only recently have I walked along this part of the seafront and I was surprised by how pleasant it was to walk there.

The Castle on the sea to defend and symbolize Rapallo. Symbol of the town and medieval monument that characterizes the sea front of the beautiful town on the Ligurian Riviera, the Castle of Rapallo is small but very solid. It is also famous because, during the patronal celebrations that take place every year in the town on July 1, 2, and 3, it is covered by a cascade of sparks and fireworks that seem to burn the castle. Unmissable!

The decorated facade of a building in the alleyway in Rapallo. A few months ago I armed myself with a camera and decided to take as many photos as possible in the city of Rapallo, determined to fill a gap in my website. Walking along the alleyway my attention fell on the facade of this building decorated with five bas-reliefs (or high-reliefs, it's still hard for me to tell the difference) in terracotta. Since I'm even struggling to understand their meaning (I think one has a religious background) I decided to post the photo here and ask you.

Latin writing on the door of a villa in Rapallo Above the entrance to Villa Robilant, in Rapallo, there is this Latin phrase by Horace which says:
Non incedo per ignes suppositos cineri doloso (which means: You walk on burning coals hidden by deceptive ashes).
I don't quite understand the meaning but I think it's: be careful because under the deceptive ash, burning embers are hidden.

Considered one of the greatest poets of the ancient age, as well as a master of stylistic elegance and gifted with an unusual irony, he was able to face the political and civil vicissitudes of his time as a placid Epicurean lover of the pleasures of life, dictating what for many are still the canons of the ars vivendi.

The entrance to Villa Tigullio in Rapallo from via Avenaggi. A few months ago I decided to walk along the eastern promenade of Rapallo Castle. I had never been in that area of the city and I must say that I was surprised by the beauty of the landscape that can be enjoyed. In addition to being quite long, I would say at least a kilometer, it passes along the beautiful Villa Tigullio of which in this photo you can see a secondary entrance (I would say).
Update: Giuseppe writes to me on Facebook: “No, what you photographed is the pedestrian entrance of Villa Porticciolo, a private villa that you see in the photo, that too is a former Casale property like the entire municipal part of the park. The secondary pedestrian entrance to Villa Tigullio is shortly after the roundabout”.

The little arches between the buildings in the Rapallo alley. Even in the Rapallo alley, in one of the many alleys that lead to the side streets, these beautiful little arches that connect the houses appear. I still haven't understood if they have a static or aesthetic function, maybe one of the readers can write it to me in the comments.
Update: they are called slam arches and have the function of helping the static nature of buildings especially if they are a short distance from each other.
