Here is where the village is located:

Spello (Hispellum in Latin) is an Italian municipality in the province of Perugia in Umbria. It is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy and boasts the Orange Flag tourist-environmental quality brand, awarded by the Italian Touring Club. Spello was founded by the Umbrians and then named Hispellum in Roman times; it was then registered with the Lemonia tribe. Later declared "Colonia Giulia" by Caesar and "Splendidissima Colonia Julia" by Augustus, because it supported him in the war of Perugia; after the victory of Augustus, he himself ceded to Hispellum a good part of the territories governed by Perusia and the dominion of the city of Spello extended to the sources of the Clitunno, which were previously under the possession of Mevania. Later it was called "Flavia Costante" by Constantine. Ancient Spello was considered one of the most important cities in Roman Umbria.

Here is where the village is located:

In the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance it had its best period, characterized by extraordinary trade that favored its economic prosperity (it was called "the dry port"), still testified today by the numerous buildings in the historic center, worthy of appearing in much larger cities, and the economic growth was accompanied by lively cultural and social activity. Already in 1469, to favor the circulation of money a Jewish banker was called, one of the few professions to which those men were authorized, and despite this he was persecuted and later one of the very first Monti di Pietà was erected, followed later by the Monte Frumentario and various other charitable and welfare institutions.

The Archivolt of Via Gerolamo Boccardo in Genoa
Walking along the beautiful Via XX Settembre in Genoa, as I have already written to you many times, I almost always keep my nose in the air to enjoy all the beauty and details found there.
Just like this beautiful archivolt (or perhaps it is more of a terrace) that unites these two buildings, giving rise to the short street dedicated to an illustrious Genoese: Gerolamo Boccardo.

Here is where the archivolt is located:

Gerolamo Boccardo (Genoa, March 16, 1829 – Rome, March 20, 1904) was an Italian economist and politician. He was a senator of the Kingdom of Italy in the XIII legislature. After completing his high school studies, in 1844 he enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the University of Genoa, but the political commitments he soon took on made him delay his graduation, which he obtained only on July 2, 1849. In 1847 he was elected president of the Società Entellica di Chiavari, recently moved to Genoa. During this period he worked as a journalist at the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, working to promote the transformation of the newspaper from an exclusively commercial newspaper to a political and economic newspaper.

The archivolt of via Garibaldi in Sestri Levante

L'archivolto di via Garibaldi a Sestri Levante

The archivolt of via Garibaldi in Sestri Levante.
One of the points of the historic center of Sestri Levante that I love to photograph is this beautiful archivolt that I know is located in the small street that connects vico Lombardo to piazza Matteotti.
As several visitors wrote to me in another post (qui) the alley was also called "caruggiu de l'ou" (alley of gold) since there were warehouses of manganese (coming from the Libiola mine) from which they were loaded onto ships for England.

The archivolt of the Grecino bridge in Varese Ligure

L'archivolto del ponte Grecino a Varese Ligure

The archivolt of the Grecino bridge in Varese Ligure.
The Grecino bridge, over the Crovara stream, was one of the points for entering the village in the Middle Ages.
This is why I imagine there was this archivolt, perhaps with a door, to manage the entrance to the town.

Borgo Rotondo in the historic center of Varese. Commissioned by the Fieschi family for the control and defense of the Varese territory, it is made up of identical stone houses arranged along the perimeter which, with an elliptical shape, enclose the two main squares (Piazza Fieschi and Piazza Castello), where the commercial activities, warehouses and laboratories were located in the underlying porticoes.

The archivolt of the Oratory of San Giacomo in Via Santa Croce in Genoa.
This small alley, which passes under a high archivolt, passes right behind the Mura delle Grazie.
I always like to venture into the alleys and take photos and, when I can, I always try to learn more about the places I immortalize (and visit).

Here's where I took the photo from:

The Oratory of San Giacomo della Marina is a Catholic religious building in the historic center of Genoa, located on the Mura delle Grazie, in the Molo district. Built in the fifteenth century and rebuilt in the seventeenth century, it is the seat of the “Confraternity of San Giacomo della Marina”. It stands a short distance from the sanctuary of N.S. delle Grazie, on the city walls, in that stretch lapped by the sea until the end of the nineteenth century; throughout the Middle Ages it was an important stop for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

Getting lost in the alleys of Genoa is an experience I recommend to everyone. You can walk for a couple of hours and never pass by the same place twice.
This is a beautiful alley below Piazza Sarzano and you can walk along it to head towards the famous Piazza Campo Pisano.
