Entella Street, a hidden corner of Chiavari.
While walking through the centre of Chiavari, I decided to photograph a less common view of the town: Entella Street, a road running parallel to the famous Carruggio Dritto and Vittorio Veneto Street, with its own character made of historic buildings and urban details. This photograph of Entella Street in Chiavari shows that there are still interesting places to see in Liguria even away from the most photographed routes.
When visitors arrive in Chiavari looking for photographic spots, they usually head towards Carruggio Dritto, also known as Martyrs of Liberation Street, or towards Vittorio Veneto Street with its beautiful arcades. These are certainly among the best-known areas of the town centre, famous for their arches, columns and covered walkways. I have photographed those streets many times as well, and my blog contains many images dedicated to their architecture.
This time I wanted to explore a different perspective and focus on a street that is often overlooked. Entella Street proves that discovering Chiavari is not only about following the most popular paths. Smaller streets can also reveal elegant buildings, interesting views and details that become meaningful when observed carefully.
I took this photograph myself with my camera, looking for a different way to tell the story of the town. The image is not about a famous landmark but about the atmosphere created by everyday architecture, the relationship between the buildings and the street, and the quiet beauty that can be found in familiar places.
Entella Street is located in Chiavari, Liguria, Italy, in the Metropolitan City of Genoa, close to the historic streets that form the heart of the town centre. Its position makes it an alternative route for discovering another side of Chiavari, where the urban landscape feels slightly more relaxed while still preserving the elegance of the old town.
One interesting detail about Chiavari is the importance of arcades in its historic centre. These covered spaces have supported commercial activities and social life for centuries, creating a distinctive architectural feature that makes the town recognizable.
This photograph connects naturally with other stories I have shared on my blog about Chiavari, including images of Carruggio Dritto and Vittorio Veneto Street. I enjoy showing different sides of places I visit, because a town is not made only by its most famous views but also by the streets that people walk through every day.
Entella Street is a reminder that changing direction can lead to new discoveries. A less photographed street can still offer a beautiful image and a different way of understanding a city.
