A building in Via Fascie in Sestri Levante

Un palazzo in via Fascie a Sestri Levante

A building in via Fascie in Sestri Levante.
I imagine that everyone who lives in Sestri (like me), or who comes here every now and then, has stopped at least once at this pedestrian crossing.
For those who remember, once upon a time, to cross the road there was a traffic light at the intersection of Piazza Sant'Antonio which for several years has been replaced with a roundabout.
The crossing has been moved to Levante via a traffic light on call placed right in front of this beautiful building!
The portico is enlivened by the (fake) flowers of the Chinese shop that is located right there!

Where is the spot where I took the shot:

Cavalier Vincenzo Fascie is a key figure for the city of Sestri Levante. In fact, upon his death on December 28, 1920, he left all his assets to the city, “with the sacrosanct purpose of bringing some industrial advantage and well-being and progress to my hometown.”

La Baia del Silenzio a Sestri Levante: un mattino di pace

The Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante: a peaceful morning.
This morning (January 13, 2025), the Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante presents itself in all its serene beauty. Known as one of the most enchanting places on the Ligurian Riviera, the bay is enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility that seems to suspend time.
The crystalline waters reflect the pastel colors of the Ligurian houses that surround it, creating a picturesque picture that inspires calm and reflection. The sound of the waves gently breaking on the shore and the singing of sea birds add a natural soundtrack to this idyllic setting.
Walking along the beach, you can feel the peace that permeates the air. The few visitors present walk slowly, enjoying the silence and beauty of the place. Some stop to read a book, others simply sit on the fine sand, letting themselves be lulled by the sea breeze.
The Bay of Silence, with its unique atmosphere, continues to be a source of inspiration for artists and writers. This morning, its quiet offers a perfect refuge for those seeking a moment of introspection and serenity away from the daily hustle and bustle.
If you are in the area, do not miss the opportunity to visit this corner of paradise and let yourself be enveloped by its timeless peace.

The Bay of Silence of Sestri Levante in April

La Baia del Silenzio di Sestri Levante ad aprile

The Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante in April.
It is one of the most precious gems of the Ligurian Riviera. With its crescent shape and crystal clear waters, this bay enchants visitors with its beauty and tranquility. In April, the bay awakens from its winter torpor, offering a unique natural spectacle and an atmosphere of peace and serenity.
In April, the Bay of Silence presents itself in all its splendor. The mild temperatures and longer days invite you to stroll along the beach and enjoy the spring sun. The pastel-colored houses that surround the bay reflect the sunlight, creating a magical and relaxing atmosphere. It is the ideal time to visit this corner of paradise, before the summer tourist influx reaches its peak.
The Bay of Silence is not only a place to relax, but also offers various activities for those seeking a little adventure. Water sports enthusiasts can practice windsurfing, sailing or kayaking in the calm waters of the bay. For those who prefer to explore the mainland, the scenic coastal paths offer breathtaking views and are perfect for romantic strolls or energizing hikes.
After a day of activities, visitors can enjoy local culinary delights in the restaurants and bars overlooking the bay. Pesto Genovese, local olive oil and Ligurian white wines are just some of the specialties that can be enjoyed while watching the sun set over the bay.
The Bay of Silence is located at the eastern end of the Sestri Levante peninsula. It is easily reached on foot from the historic center, along Corso Colombo and Via XXV Aprile. For those arriving by car, there are several free parking areas near the center, although during the high season it can be difficult to find a space.
The Bay of Silence is a delicate ecosystem that is home to Posidonia meadows and a variety of marine species. To preserve this unique environment, the Municipality of Sestri Levante has implemented measures to regulate access to the bay and prevent overcrowding. Visitors are encouraged to respect local rules to ensure the sustainability of this natural paradise.

The houses on the Ponente promenade in Riva Trigoso.

Enchanting!

Where is the seafront promenade located:

Benedetto Brin (Turin, 17 May 1833 – Rome, 24 May 1898) was an Italian engineer, admiral and politician. Having entered service in the Sardinian Navy in 1853 as an officer of the Naval Engineering Corps, in 1864 he published an article in which he demonstrated the inevitability of the transition to armoured ships, thus finding himself on the same line as Simone Pacoret de Saint-Bon.

The alleyway of the village of Sestri Levante in Liguria

Il caruggio del borgo di Sestri Levante in Liguria

The alleyway of the village of Sestri Levante in Liguria.
When I'm at home, almost every morning, I go downtown for a walk and a coffee.
I like to take a walk when there are few people and this happens especially in winter.
When sunny days happen, like the one on the day I took this photo, it is one of my favorite subjects for shots.
