Il caruggio di Sestri Levante una mattina di fine febbraio

The caruggio of Sestri Levante one morning in late February.
One morning in late February, the caruggio of Sestri Levante slowly wakes up under a grey and cloudy sky. The narrow streets of the historic center, with their colorful buildings and closed shutters, still seem asleep. The air is fresh and pungent, typical of this time of year, and the silence is interrupted only by the sound of footsteps of the few passers-by who venture out into the streets.
The shops begin to open their doors, revealing windows full of local and artisan products. The shopkeepers greet the first customers of the day with a smile, while the scent of freshly brewed coffee spreads through the air, inviting you to take a regenerating break. The bars and pastry shops slowly fill up with people who indulge in a quiet breakfast, enjoying brioches and cappuccinos.
The caruggio, with its ancient stones and hidden corners, tells stories of a distant past. The facades of the houses, with their bright colors, create a fascinating contrast with the gray sky, making the landscape even more suggestive. The plants and flowers on the balconies add a touch of life and color, while the cats prowl furtively, exploring every corner.
The morning advances and the caruggio becomes more and more animated. Tourists begin to peep out, curious to discover the beauties of Sestri Levante. The tour guides lead small groups through the streets, telling anecdotes and curiosities about the history of the place. The squares fill with voices and laughter, while the children play carefree.
Despite the uncertain weather, the caruggio of Sestri Levante retains its unique charm. It is a place where the past and the present meet, creating a magical and welcoming atmosphere. On a morning in late February, walking through these streets is an experience that warms the heart and soul, leaving indelible memories.

More or less around this time, but last year, I took this beautiful photo of the caruggio (this is what the pedestrian street that crosses a village is called in Liguria) of my town, Sestri Levante.
Almost deserted, just as many Sestresi like it.
