Il monumento ai caduti sulla passeggiata di Levante a Riva Trigoso. All’inizio della piccola promenade rivana di Levante c’e’ questo monumento che credo sia dedicato ai caduti in mare. Purtroppo scrivo “credo” perche’ non ho fatto una foto piu’ ravvicinata della targa ed ora che sono via non riesco a ricordare o reperire quello che c’e’ scritto sopra. Vista la grossa ancora e la vocazione marinara della frazione di Sestri Levante sono quasi sicuro sia dedicato ai cittadini che hanno perso la vita in mare.

The Lapide di Pila sul Gromolo in Sestri Levante. This is the famous marble slab that gives its name to this area of Sestri Levante. In the hamlet of Pila sul Gromolo, as soon as you exit the motorway, the second roundabout (the one that joins via Nazionale, via Aurelia, via Giorgio Bo and via Sara). Now, to tell the truth, it is really difficult to read what is written; the small plaque with the transcription helps us:
“To King Carlo Alberto Since by His decree the path from Sestri to Varese has been made a road and has been covered with gravel and equipped with protections the inhabitants of Sestri, Casarza, Castiglione, Maissana, Varese who have obtained the benefit of more agile transits thanks to the excellent and far-sighted Prince in the year 1834 during the ministry for internal affairs of the reign of Antonio Tonduti Count of L’Escarène”

The Lapide roundabout and the modern statue of the donkey. The Lapide roundabout, an open space just beyond the motorway exit that welcomes anyone arriving in Sestri Levante, was embellished a few years ago with a statue, if you can call it that, of a mechanical donkey. The statue was created by Ugo Rocca, a local artist, in collaboration with the Olivicoltori Sestresi (a Sestrese cooperative of olive oil producers) who then donated it to the municipality.

As to why this square, which was actually a crossroads, is called Lapide, I will write a dedicated post in which I will tell you what the plaque is and what it represents.
