Una bella villa immarsa nella bougainvillea a Camogli

A beautiful villa surrounded by bougainvillea in Camogli.
When the season and the climate allow it, I love to travel along the Aurelia from Genoa to Sestri Levante observing the splendid panoramas and also the splendid villas that can be observed.
Like this beautiful little villa with this immense bougainvillea plant next to it that I photographed going down to the village of Camogli.

Bougainvillea Comm. ex Juss., 1789 is a genus of plants in the Nyctaginaceae family, native to South America. The plant was discovered in 1768 in Brazil by Jeanne Baret, assistant, nurse and lover of Philibert Commerçon, official botanist in the expedition of Louis Antoine De Bougainville. Baret was also on board because she was an expert botanist in agreement with the commander, dressed as a man. The plant was named in honor of the commander.

The charm of the massive Rapallo Castle

Il fascino del massiccio Castello di Rapallo

The charm of the massive Rapallo Castle.
Every time I visit Rapallo I can't help but take a couple of photos of the castle that dominates the entire promenade of the coastal city.
And every time I think of when in summer, for the patronal festivals, the castle is "burned"!

The castle on the sea is a defensive position in Rapallo, in the metropolitan city of Genoa, built to defend the body of water near the Vittorio Veneto seafront. It is also called a medieval castle with an incorrect definition since the construction dates back only to the second half of the 16th century.

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's where the street is:

Via Remolari is one of the oldest streets in Chiavari. It is called this because in this street they built the oars for the boats of the Republic of Genoa. The wood to make the oars came from the trees of Monte Penna.

The brawls of Santa Margherita di Antioca in Sori

Il sagrato in risseu della chiesa di Santa Margherita di Antioca a Sori

The risseu churchyard of the church of Santa Margherita di Antioca in Sori.
I haven't been to Sori, the beautiful tourist resort on the Riviera di Levante, very often, but I've stopped there a couple of times recently.
This is the beautiful little square in front of the church of Santa Margherita, whose paving is made with the technique, very popular in Liguria, of sirreu (black and white sea pebbles that create a design).
If I'm not mistaken, the design created is the coat of arms of the municipality of Sori.

Here is where the church is located:

The original religious temple was built around the 12th century, perhaps in Romanesque style, and was large enough for its population. From 1143, it was subject, like other religious buildings in the area, to the parish church of San Michele Arcangelo di Pieve Ligure. The structure was rebuilt between 1711 and 1714 based on a design by the architect Giovanni Antonio Ricca (the Younger), while work on raising the tall bell tower began on 15 April 1740.

Lavagna - Caruggio 12 settembre 2023 1

The beautiful caruggio of Lavagna on the morning of September 12, 2023.
This morning I took a little stroll in Lavagna. To tell the truth, my visit was aimed at looking at a couple of shoe and clothing shops in the caruggio (via Roma).
I always like to take a walk in the center of this village.

The village and the small port of Camogli seen from Ruta.
In the last few weeks I have gone back and forth between Sestri Levante and Genoa several times; on many occasions, being in the summer season, I went by scooter and was able to enjoy all the beauty of our Riviera di Levante.
When the Aurelia then passes by Ruta (of Camogli) the view of the beautiful seaside village is unparalleled, don't you think so too?

And this too:

The most significant architectural aspect of the town is the presence of colored buildings overlooking the beach. The colors and the lighter horizontal lines (called string courses) served the sailors of Camogli to more easily recognize their home among the various floors of the buildings in the village and return there after fishing.

Walking through the beautiful town on the Ligurian Riviera famous for its arcades, you are not only impressed by the oldest and smallest ones in the alleyway but also by the more modern ones in other parts of the city.
Like these, taller and more regular than Corso Garibaldi.
