The porticos of XX Settembre street in Genoa. Via XX Settembre is one of the main arteries of Genoa, famous for its elegant porticos that extend along much of the street. These porticos not only offer shelter from the elements, but also represent an extraordinary example of urban architecture, combining neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau elements. The construction of Via XX Settembre dates back to the end of the 19th century, in a period of great urban expansion for Genoa. The porticos, with their mosaic floors and decorated ceilings, were designed to add a touch of elegance to the city. The columns and arches in black and white stone create a fascinating visual effect, making a walk under the porticos a unique experience. Walking under the porticos of Via XX Settembre, you can admire a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants that offer a mix of tradition and modernity. This street is a reference point for shopping and social life of the Genoese, but also a place where you can breathe in the history of the city. Every architectural detail tells a part of the history of Genoa, from its medieval times to the present day. One of the most fascinating aspects of the porticoes of Via XX Settembre is the motto of Genoa engraved under one of the neo-Gothic porticoes: “As the Griffin seizes these, so Genoa tears to pieces its enemies”. This motto, accompanied by a griffin seizing an eagle and a fox, dates back to the ancient Republic of Genoa and represents the strength and determination of the city. The porticoes of Via XX Settembre are an unmissable place for those visiting Genoa. Whether it is a relaxing stroll, a shopping session or a coffee break, the porticoes offer a fascinating and historically rich environment. Every corner of this street tells a story, making each visit a unique and memorable experience.

Ligurian cuisine is made up of dishes from the culinary tradition of Liguria, a region that uses ingredients linked both to local production (such as preboggion, a mixture of wild herbs) and to imports from areas with which Ligurians have had frequent contact over the centuries (such as Sardinian pecorino, one of the ingredients of pesto). A poor cuisine, typical of country people, mountaineers and sailors, made of simple, common and cheap foods, which has however become expensive, refined and full of ancient glories.

The Bay of Silence in summer. A classic photograph of the Bay of Silence in my town, Sestri Levante, taken last year in July. It had been a rainy day so there were very few people, very unusual for the summer period.

The porticos and the Basilica of Santo Stefano in via Venti. When I walk along via Venti Settembre in Genoa, passing under the porticos on the sea side (let's say) the view always takes in the beautiful Basilica of Santo Stefano and the porticos that "support" it. The charm of the two-tone style perhaps embellishes the view.

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.
