Chiavari and the Gulf of Tigullio from Grazie

La vista su Chiavari ed il Golfo del Tigullio di Levante dalle Grazie

The view of Chiavari and the Gulf of Tigullio di Levante from the Santuario delle Grazie.
Some time ago, returning from Genoa along the Via Aurelia, I stopped at the Santuario della Madonna delle Grazie to admire and photograph the beautiful city of Chiavari from one of the most panoramic points there is.
I didn't have a telephoto lens but a 50mm fixed but the quality of the shots seemed good to me!

Here is where the Sanctuary is located:

The sanctuary of Nostra Signora delle Grazie is a Catholic place of worship located in the town of Grazie in the municipality of Chiavari, in the metropolitan city of Genoa. The building is located along the state road 1 Via Aurelia, in a stretch where the coast rises steeply above the sea, with a wooded slope. The sanctuary dominates the sea, and is still clearly visible to sailors today as in the past.

The frescoes inside the Sanctuary of the Graces

Gli affreschi all'interno del Santuario delle Grazie a Chiavari

The frescoes inside the Santuario delle Grazie in Chiavari.
One of the most beautiful little churches in the whole Tigullio in my opinion. It is located just above Chiavari along the Aurelia towards Rapallo.
Inside are the splendid frescoes by Teramo Piaggio; more famous is the fresco of the Last Judgement by Luca Cambiaso on the counter-façade (behind this photo).

This, instead, is a nice video of the frescoes:

According to in-depth studies on the current structure, the various phases that led to the architectural evolution of the building followed a precise and logical choice of "aggregation", in the sense that the structure underwent various modifications over the centuries without the classic method of "superposition", a common phenomenon of other religious buildings in the Chiavari area and in the Ligurian territory, especially in the Baroque reinterpretations.

The view of Chiavari from the Sanctuary of Grazie

La vista di Chiavari dal Santuario delle Grazie

The view of Chiavari from the Santuario delle Grazie.
One of the best places to photograph Chiavai is from the Santuario delle Grazie (on the road to Rapallo).
To tell the truth, I had been there once before and the trees did not allow the view which, as you can see, is splendid from there.

La Cattedrale di Chiavari vista dalle Grazie

La Cattedrale di Chiavari vista dalle Grazie.
Quando si scende l’Aurelia provenendo da Rapallo, poco dopo il santuario delle Grazie, c’è un belvedere che domina tutta Chiavari.
Ho scattato moltissime foto da lì e piano piano le inserirò tutte.
Questa, per esempio, ha come soggetto principale la Cattedrale di Nostra Signora dell’Orto e le case del centro cittadino nell’ora del tramonto.

The interior of the Sanctuary of Graces

The interior of the Santuario delle Grazie.
I had never been to the church of the Grazie, above Chiavari, and I must say that it is truly a splendid example of Ligurian art.
Its beautiful frescoes (by Teramo Piaggio and Luca Cambiaso) in addition to the hundreds of ex votos present in the chapel in front of the main entrance.

The trail to the Sanctuary of Montallegro in Rapallo

Il sentiero per il Santuario di Montallegro a Rapallo

The trail to the Sanctuary of Montallegro in Rapallo.
In recent weeks, like many others, I have become a lover of trekking.
I am lucky that in my area, the Ligurian Tigullio, there are many beautiful trails to hike.
So last week I went, together with some friends, to do the one that starts from Chiavari, passes by the Sanctuary of Grazie, goes to the Sanctuary of Montallegro and then ends in Rapallo.
A really nice ride of about 15 kilometers with some stretches (especially the initial one) that are really tough.
I'll leave you just a couple of photos here: the first is of the road that goes from Montallegro to Rapallo and that I took downhill; the second is of one of the many stretches of the trail.
