The bas-relief for Balin Seghezzo in Santa

Il bassorilievo dedicato a Balin Seghezzo in centro a Santa Margherita Ligure

The bas-relief dedicated to Balin Seghezzo in the centre of Santa Margherita Ligure.
This work is placed in memory of the founder of the historic Seghezzo grocery store in Santa, Balin Seghezzo.
Since 1900 and still open today (it is next to the bas-relief) it makes known the delicacies of the area with local products (and not only) of excellent gastronomy.

This is what the plaque under the bas-relief says:

“Migliaia, milioni di individui lavorano, producono e risparmiano nonostante tutto quello che noi possiamo inventare per molestarli, incepparli, scoraggiarli. È la vocazione naturale che li spinge; non soltanto la sete di guadagno. Il gusto, l’orgoglio di vedere la propria azienda prosperare, acquistare credito, ispirare fiducia a clientele sempre più vaste, ampliare gli impianti, costituiscono una molla di progresso altrettanto potente che il guadagno. Se così non fosse, non si spiegherebbe come ci siano imprenditori che nella propria azienda prodigano tutte le loro energie ed investono tutti i loro capitali per ritirare spesso utili di gran lunga più modesti di quelli che potrebbero sicuramente e comodamente ottenere con altri impieghi.”

Luigi Einaudi

The calendar and the inscription on the Cathedral of Lucca

Il calendario e l'iscrizione per i mercanti sul Duomo di Lucca

The calendar and the inscription for pilgrims on the Cathedral of Lucca.
On the rich facade of San Martino, the Cathedral of Lucca, there are many bas-reliefs and inscriptions.
One of these represents the months of the year and the typical actions of the period represented (such as putting wine in barrels in October).
Further down there is a long inscription which, if I am not mistaken, is a kind of guarantee for pilgrims that they will not be cheated during the visit to the Holy Face.

The inscription that the apothecaries and money changers had engraved and positioned, in which they pledged not to cheat in the exchange of money and not to counterfeit the products sold to pilgrims. The inscription is from 1111 and these are some significant passages: "(...) All the apothecaries and money changers swear that from that moment on they would not commit thefts, frauds or forgeries within the court of San Martino or in the houses where hospitality is given" and concludes "(...) Every foreigner should read this inscription in this trust and fear nothing for himself".

The Goddess Demeter in San Gregorio Armeno in Naples

Il bassorilievo della dea Demetra a San Gregorio Armeno a Napoli

The bas-relief of the goddess Demeter in San Gregorio Armeno in Naples.
Walking through the stalls famous for their statuettes and nativity scenes, I saw a tourist guide stop at a point that was insignificant to me and I paid attention to what he was describing.
Only then did I discover the story of this strange figure, very ruined and ancient, but with an aura of exceptional mystery.
A little further down I refer you to an in-depth article on the subject (because, as I have often written to you, I don't like to copy things I don't know from other sites); here are just the photos.

It is assumed that in this very area of ​​San Gregorio Armeno, and precisely in the space now occupied by the Church of Santa Patrizia, the ancient temple dedicated to Demeter stood and nearby there would also have been the house where the priestesses of the cult of Ceres were trained.

The decorated facade of a building in the alleyway in Rapallo

La facciata decorata di un palazzo in caruggio a Rapallo

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.

If you know something more about this building add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

Biduino was an Italian sculptor, an exponent of the Pisan Romanesque style, active in the period 1173-1194. Attentive to the study of Roman and late-ancient sculpture, especially sarcophagi, he re-proposed crowded compositions in narrative continuity, elongating the bodies of the figures according to a still Byzantine vision or denouncing analogies with Provençal works.

Gli abitanti erano atterriti nel vedere il drago avvicinarsi, ma Giorgio li tranquillizzò, dicendo loro di non aver timore poiché «Iddio mi ha mandato a voi per liberarvi dal drago: se abbraccerete la fede in Cristo, riceverete il battesimo e io ucciderò il mostro». Allora il re e la popolazione si convertirono e il cavaliere uccise il drago e lo fece portare fuori dalla città, trascinato da quattro paia di buoi.

Bassorilievi dall'Oratorio di San Rocco a Lerici

Bassorilievi dall’Oratorio di San Rocco a Lerici.
In pieno centro nel bel borgo marinaro di Lerici potete trovare questa bella chiesetta e, sul muro del suo campanile, ci sono questi bei bassorilievi (forse ripescati da precedenti utilizzi).
A me piace molto quello di San Giorgio che affronta il drago un motivo molto ricorrente nei borghi marinari!
