The Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante on March 14, 2024. The bay of my town is the protagonist of the majority of the photos on this blog, almost certainly! This photo, taken almost exactly a year ago, fully represents its winter charm: almost deserted and very relaxing.

The velelle in the Bay of Silence in March 2024. Last year, right around this time, an event occurred that unfortunately does not happen so rarely: hundreds, indeed thousands, of these small animals washed up on the beach of Sestri Levante.

Velella velella, also known as St. Peter's or St. John's boat, is a colony of hydrozoans of the Porpitidae family. It is often found in all oceans, on the shores or at most 1-2 cm deep in the water, with a preference for warm or temperate waters. Like other cnidarians (coelenterates), Velella velella is a carnivorous animal. It captures its prey, usually plankton, using its tentacles that contain toxins. These toxins, while effective against the prey, are harmless to humans, as they cannot penetrate the skin and do not cause any reaction to human skin. However, it is preferable to avoid touching your eyes after picking up a Velella. Continue on Wikipedia

The tower overlooking the Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante. The Bay of Silence is famous for its colorful houses overlooking the sea and just a few meters from the water. One of these buildings, which I called a tower in the title due to its structure, always fascinates me, especially for the view from the glass window on the top floor. Unfortunately, I have only enjoyed the view from someone else's shots, but I hope that one day someone will invite me up there.

The houses on the Sestri Peninsula seen from Ciappa du Lu. Some time ago now, I went to the famous rock called Ciappa du Lu (reachable from the path that starts from Sestri to go to Punta Manara). From there, with my telephoto lens, I took several photos of the Sestri Peninsula from an unusual (for me) perspective.

A Sunday morning in early March in the Bay of Silence. This morning the bay was truly spectacular. March and April are probably the best months to take a quiet walk, even on Sundays, in this heavenly place!

The path that leads to the sea in Baia del Silenzio. Walking along via Portobello until you reach the entrance to the Ex Convento dell’Annuzniata you can continue along this narrow path until you reach one of the points with the most beautiful view of the Baia del Silenzio. That point, which as a boy I heard called “La Canala” has a wall completely covered with vandalistic graffiti that, however, over time have become truly characteristic.

A glimpse of Via Cappuccini in Sestri Levante. The narrow streets that crowd the part of land that separates the two bays of Sestri Levante (the Bay of Silence and the Bay of Fairy Tales) form the historic center of my town. This street is the one I walk most often to go and admire the Bay of Silence.

The beautiful Baia del Silenzio in Sestri Levante. These two photos, taken at two different times of the year (April and July), are two iconic views of one of the most beautiful bays in Italy: the Baia del Silenzio. I live in this town and I am always fascinated by it and, as you can see, I will have hundreds of posts and photos with this subject!

The expanse of small rocks in the Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante. In the bay there is not only sand but in the part towards the Ex Convento dell'Annunziata, where there is also the statue of the fisherman, there is an expanse of small rocks that gently enter the sea.
