An alley in the historic center of Sestri Levante. The historic center of Sestri Levante is that part of the town between the two famous bays (Baia del Silenzio and Baia delle Favole). The most characteristic part is certainly the part near the Baia del Silenzio where in ancient times there were the fishermen's houses and the main activities. In fact, this alley is called Vico Macelli, precisely to make it clear the type of activity that took place there.

The view over the rooftops of the city of Perugia. Perugia, the capital of Umbria, is a city rich in history, art and culture. One of the most fascinating aspects of this medieval city is the breathtaking view over its rooftops, which offers a unique and unforgettable experience for anyone who visits it. In this case, I took the photo from a window of the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria. One of the most famous panoramic points is the Belvedere Carducci. From here, you can enjoy an open view of the southern part of the city, including the Tiber Valley and the Umbrian Valley. This point also offers a spectacular view of the surrounding mountain systems. Another place not to be missed is Porta Sole, in particular Via delle Prome. From the parapet of Piazza Rossi Scotti, which continues along the first stretch of the steps of Via delle Prome, you can admire a panorama that ranges from the medieval walls of Borgo Sant’Antonio to Borgo Sant’Angelo, with the Cassero and the temple of Sant’Angelo. The terrace of the covered market offers a view of the city to the east up to San Domenico and San Pietro, with their characteristic bell towers. From the park of Santa Margherita, located below the terrace, the view extends to Subasio with Assisi and the surrounding mountains. From this point, you can enjoy a fine view of the Conca, crossed by the characteristic suspended street of the aqueduct and Borgo Sant’Angelo. It is a perfect place to take photographs and admire the beauty of the city. The terrace of the Cassero, located in the tower belonging to the medieval circle of the city, offers a 360° panorama of the city and the surrounding mountains. It is an ideal place for those who love panoramic views and want to immerse themselves in the history of Perugia. The early morning and late afternoon are the best times to enjoy the panoramic views, when the light is softer and the shadows create a suggestive effect. Bring a camera or a smartphone with a good camera to capture the breathtaking views. Binoculars can be useful to observe the details in the distance. Visiting Perugia is an experience that cannot be missed on your itinerary in Umbria. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a history lover or simply looking for a moment of tranquility, the views of Perugia will leave you breathless. Plan your visit and get ready to discover one of the most fascinating cities in Italy from a unique perspective.

From the main square in the centre, five royal roads branched off, which connected – and still partly connect – the city of Perugia with Cortona (today the Via Cortonese overlaps with the Trasimeno state road), Orvieto (Via Marscianese), Gubbio (Via Eugubina), Città di Castello and the Via Flaminia (Foligno) which led from Rome to Ariminium (now Romagna).

Vico Lombardo in the historic center of Sestri Levante. This is one of the alleys, probably the main one, that connects the two bays of Sestri (the Baia delle Favole, behind in the photo, and the Baia del Silenzio, continuing along the alley). It is a short, very narrow street that starts from the seafront and reaches the Sestri caruggio.

Here is where Montefalco is located:
Montefalco, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, is located on top of a hill overlooking the plain of the Topino and Clitunno rivers. Because of this favorable panoramic position, since 1568 it has been given the name of “Balcony of Umbria”. From here, on the clearest days, from various viewpoints it is possible to admire a 360° panorama that spans the entire valley between Perugia and Spoleto, from the slopes of the Sub-Apennines to those of the Martani Mountains.

The characteristic Vico del Bottone in Sestri Levante. In the picturesque old town of Sestri Levante, a small and charming passage is known as Vico del Bottone. This narrow alley, rich in history and character, offers an authentic glimpse into the life and traditions of this charming Ligurian town. Vico del Bottone probably owes its name to a local legend or perhaps to an old button shop that once stood here. Craftsmen’s workshops were common in the narrow alleys of Italian towns, and this small shop may have served both locals and passing sailors. Over time, the name “Vico del Bottone” has become a testimony to the daily life and economic activities that characterized the Sestri Levante of the past. Vico del Bottone is a perfect example of traditional Ligurian architecture. Its narrow walls, pastel-colored facades and flower-filled balconies create an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The solid wooden arches and doorways tell stories of times gone by, while details such as slate doorposts give the alley a touch of romance and mystery. Walking through Vico del Bottone, you can admire the simple yet charming beauty of the historic houses, many of which date back centuries. The narrow streets invite visitors to slow down and enjoy the quiet pace of life in a Ligurian town. Despite its central location, Vico del Bottone remains a place of peace and tranquility. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets, this hidden corner offers a perfect refuge for those seeking a moment of serenity. Here, you can find a bench to sit and reflect, enjoying the beauty and calm of the alley. In conclusion, Vico del Bottone is one of the many hidden gems of Sestri Levante, a place that deserves to be discovered and appreciated for its beauty and timeless charm. Walking along this alley, you can breathe in the authentic Ligurian atmosphere and discover a piece of the history of this enchanting coastal town. From Vico del Bottone, one of the most panoramic paths of the Riviera di Levante starts, the one that leads to Punta Manara. This well-marked route starts right from the historic center of Sestri Levante and winds through vegetable gardens, gardens and orchards. The first part of the path, known as Salita della Mandrella, is uphill but alternates flat stretches, making the walk pleasant and accessible to many. The path is marked by two red squares and offers numerous panoramic points from which to admire the beauty of the Ligurian landscape. After about an hour's walk, you reach the top of Punta Manara, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view that ranges from Portofino to Punta Mesco. This route is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and discover breathtaking views.
