A swallows' nest in Sestri Levante.
Every year in Sestri Levante, and always in the same places, you can see some swallows' nests.
This one, at the end of the alley, is under a terrace.
At this moment the nestling is anxiously waiting for some food. In the second photo the mother (or father) is bringing something to put under their beak.
And have you ever seen them?

Most swallows are insectivorous and catch insects in flight. The composition of their insect diet varies depending on the species and the time of year. Some species may be selective and not catch every insect they encounter in flight, preferring larger prey. They also avoid certain types of prey, especially stinging insects such as bees and wasps.
