Due passi nel caruggio di Lavagna

A stroll through the caruggio of Lavagna.
Lavagna, a picturesque town located on the Ligurian coast, is famous for its caruggi, the characteristic narrow alleys that cross the historic center. Walking through the caruggio of Lavagna is like taking a trip back in time, among ancient stone houses, artisan workshops and atmospheres that tell stories of a past rich in traditions.
The main caruggio of Lavagna, Via Roma, is the beating heart of the city. Here, visitors can find a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants offering local products and Ligurian specialties. The facades of the houses, often decorated with frescoes and small architectural details, add a touch of charm and authenticity to this corner of Liguria.
One of the most fascinating elements of the caruggio of Lavagna are the small statues that adorn the facades of the houses. These statues, often carved in wood or stone, represent a variety of subjects, from historical and mythological characters to animals and symbolic figures. Each statue tells a story and adds a unique and personal touch to each home.
Walking through the caruggio of Lavagna is also an opportunity to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the place. Stopping at one of the cafes for an espresso or a focaccia genovese is a perfect way to soak up the local atmosphere and observe daily life that flows slowly and serenely.
Lavagna offers numerous points of interest, including the Torre del Borgo, which houses an art gallery, and the Basilica of Santo Stefano. Don't miss the opportunity to explore these historic sites and discover the hidden treasures that make Lavagna such a special place.
Lavagna is a place that enchants both tourists and locals. Its caruggi, with small statues that adorn the facades of the houses, add another layer of charm and history to this already extraordinary town. If you are planning a visit to Lavagna, be sure to include a walk through the caruggio in your itinerary.

Roma street, the beautiful alley of Lavagna.
The towns and villages of Liguria almost always have a pedestrian street, which crosses the center, which we call caruggio.
Via Roma, of which today I post a photo that I took a few months ago, is the alley of Lavagna.

The decorated facade of a building in the alleyway in Rapallo

La facciata decorata di un palazzo in caruggio a Rapallo

The decorated facade of a building in the alleyway in Rapallo.
A few months ago I armed myself with a camera and decided to take as many photos as possible in the city of Rapallo, determined to fill a gap in my website.
Walking along the alleyway my attention fell on the facade of this building decorated with five bas-reliefs (or high-reliefs, it's still hard for me to tell the difference) in terracotta.
Since I'm even struggling to understand their meaning (I think one has a religious background) I decided to post the photo here and ask you.
