The departure, at night, from the port of Savona

La partenza, in notturna, dal porto di Savona

The departure, at night, from the port of Savona.
Some time ago I was on board the ex Costa Firenze (of Costa Crociere) and one evening, we had a bit of a delay in leaving, we set sail later than usual from Savona.
I therefore had the opportunity to take some night photos of the area in front of the port and, in full view, of the Leon Pancaldo Tower.

A spectacular sky starting from Cadiz

Un cielo spettacolare in partenza da Cadice

A spectacular sky at sunset departing from Cadiz.
Last year when I was on board the ex Costa Firenze departing from the port of Cadiz we were able to admire this truly incredible sky!
Another Costa ship also made an appearance, if I remember correctly the Costa Pacifica.

I bastioni del porto della Valletta

I bastioni del porto della Valletta.
La partenza dalla città de La Valletta, a Malta, non sarà come quella da Venezia ma regala comunque scorci carini soprattutto per le imponenti fortificazioni medioevali che ne circondano il centro storico.
In queste foto ne potete vedere qualche bell’esempio.

Sotto il comando di Antoine de Paule vennero costruite molteplici fortificazioni a protezione della città, il cosiddetto Sistema di Floriana (Floriana’s Lines) disegnato dall’architetto maceratese Pietro Paolo Floriani. Sotto il comando di António Manoel de Vilhena si inizia a formare un insediamento tra le mura della città e il Sistema di Floriana che si evolve da sobborgo de La Valletta a Floriana, una città a sé stante.

One of the many bell towers of the churches of Venice

One of the many bell towers of the churches of Venice.
Leaving by ship from Venice the spectacle is always guaranteed. This alone can repay the price of the ticket.
In addition to the very famous Piazza San Marco, in front of which you pass at the end of the Canale della Gidecca, you can see dozens of churches and bell towers.
In the photo one of these… I would like to be able to write to you which church it is but unfortunately I don't know.

Do you know beautiful Venice?

This construction spread rapidly starting in the 8th century when Pope Stephen II built a bell tower equipped with three bells in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
