The tall houses of the small port of Camogli. Camogli is not the classic Ligurian village with small and low houses overlooking the sea. In this town in fact the houses are quite tall and large but they climb up the ridge that goes down to the sea and this is the most impressive feature. This shot, taken from the top of the Aurelia, shows the houses built around Castel Dragone and for this reason they have a circular structure.

The small port of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre seen from above. Some time ago, while I was at home, I went to the Cinque Terre to do some trekking. Unfortunately the classic Sentiero Azzurro (the one that goes from Monterosso to Vernazza on the sea side) was closed for maintenance so, with my wife, we decided to try walking uphill to the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Soviore and then, once at the top, we went down the path that, passing by Nostra Signora di Reggio, descends to Vernazza. From above the village of Vernazza is always splendid, don't you think?

The village of Vernazza seen from the top of the path The last time I was in the Cinque Terre I walked the path from Monterosso to Vernazza passing by the Sanctuary of Soviore. You climb a lot and then, when you go down to the village, you have a slightly different view than that of the Sentiero Azzurro. I took many photos of which this is one of the most beautiful for me. The only shame is that the sun's glare, the distance and a bit of haze didn't allow for a clear photo.

Un vicolo colorato nel borgo di Portovenere vicino alla Spezia. Qualche mese fa sono stato a visitare questo bel borgo assieme a mia moglie Dao. Situato nel cuore della Liguria, Portovenere è uno dei gioielli più affascinanti della Riviera di Levante, un borgo che incanta con la sua bellezza naturale e il suo patrimonio storico. A pochi chilometri dalla Spezia, questo pittoresco paesino marinaro è noto per le sue case colorate, i vicoli stretti e le viste mozzafiato sul mare. Tra le sue numerose stradine, una in particolare cattura l’attenzione per il suo fascino unico e la vivacità dei suoi colori: il Vicolo Colorato. I vicoli di Portovenere si distinguono per le sue facciate dipinte con una tavolozza di colori vivaci, che vanno dal rosso acceso al giallo brillante, passando per il blu e il verde. Questa esplosione di colori non è solo un piacere per gli occhi, ma riflette anche la storia e la cultura del luogo. Le case sono strette e alte, costruite in modo tale da proteggere gli abitanti dal vento e dalle intemperie del mare. Ogni edificio sembra raccontare una storia, con le sue finestre decorate da gerani in fiore e le porte in legno massiccio che conservano il fascino delle epoche passate. Passeggiare per i vicoli è come fare un salto indietro nel tempo. Le pietre delle strade e delle mura parlano di un passato ricco e affascinante, dove ogni angolo ha una storia da raccontare. Questo vicolo, come molti altri a Portovenere, risale al medioevo, periodo in cui il borgo era un importante centro commerciale e militare. Le sue case colorate erano, e sono ancora, dimore di pescatori e marinai, che dipingevano le facciate delle loro abitazioni con colori vivaci per poterle riconoscere facilmente dal mare.
L’intero borgo è un capolavoro di bellezza e storia. Dominato dalla chiesa di San Pietro, costruita su un promontorio roccioso che si protende nel mare, il paese offre panorami spettacolari e un’atmosfera che sembra sospesa nel tempo. Le strette vie del centro storico, le piazzette affollate di turisti e locali, i ristoranti che offrono piatti di pesce fresco e specialità liguri, rendono Portovenere una destinazione imperdibile per chi visita la Liguria.
Portovenere è un luogo che incarna la bellezza e la storia di questa parte della Liguria. È un simbolo della resilienza e della creatività dei suoi abitanti, un angolo di mondo dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato, offrendo a chi lo visita un assaggio della vita semplice e affascinante di un tempo. Se vi trovate nei pressi della Spezia, una visita al borgo di Portovenere è d’obbligo per riscoprire la magia e il fascino senza tempo della Riviera di Levante.
