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.

Vico Lombardo in the historic center of Sestri Levante. This is one of the alleys, probably the main one, that connects the two bays of Sestri (the Baia delle Favole, behind in the photo, and the Baia del Silenzio, continuing along the alley). It is a short, very narrow street that starts from the seafront and reaches the Sestri caruggio.

This narrow alley, rich in history and character, offers an authentic glimpse into the life and traditions of this charming Ligurian town.

From Vico del Bottone, one of the most panoramic paths of the Riviera di Levante starts, the one that leads to Punta Manara.

The first part of the path, known as Salita della Mandrella, is uphill but alternates flat stretches, making the walk pleasant and accessible to many. The path is marked by two red squares and offers numerous panoramic points from which to admire the beauty of the Ligurian landscape. After about an hour's walk, you reach the top of Punta Manara, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view that ranges from Portofino to Punta Mesco. This route is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and discover breathtaking views.

The Museo del Risorgimento – Istituto Mazziniano is a museum complex in Genoa, established in 1934, entirely dedicated to the events of the Italian Risorgimento and, in particular, to some leading figures of that specific moment in Italian history closely linked to the Ligurian capital, such as Giuseppe Mazzini, Giuseppe Garibaldi and Goffredo Mameli, author of the Canto degli Italiani, the Italian national anthem. Located in via Lomellini 11, it is housed in the ancient Palazzo Adorno (15th century), in what was the birthplace of Mazzini; it was restored in 2005 and reopened to the public to coincide with the bicentenary of the birth of the great thinker.
