The view over the roofs of the city of Perugia

La vista sui tetti della città di Perugia

The view over the rooftops of the city of Perugia.
Perugia, the capital of Umbria, is a city rich in history, art and culture. One of the most fascinating aspects of this medieval city is the breathtaking view over its rooftops, which offers a unique and unforgettable experience for anyone who visits it. In this case, I took the photo from a window of the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria.
One of the most famous panoramic points is the Belvedere Carducci. From here, you can enjoy an open view of the southern part of the city, including the Tiber Valley and the Umbrian Valley. This point also offers a spectacular view of the surrounding mountain systems.
Another place not to be missed is Porta Sole, in particular Via delle Prome. From the parapet of Piazza Rossi Scotti, which continues along the first stretch of the steps of Via delle Prome, you can admire a panorama that ranges from the medieval walls of Borgo Sant’Antonio to Borgo Sant’Angelo, with the Cassero and the temple of Sant’Angelo.
The terrace of the covered market offers a view of the city to the east up to San Domenico and San Pietro, with their characteristic bell towers. From the park of Santa Margherita, located below the terrace, the view extends to Subasio with Assisi and the surrounding mountains.
From this point, you can enjoy a fine view of the Conca, crossed by the characteristic suspended street of the aqueduct and Borgo Sant’Angelo. It is a perfect place to take photographs and admire the beauty of the city.
The terrace of the Cassero, located in the tower belonging to the medieval circle of the city, offers a 360° panorama of the city and the surrounding mountains. It is an ideal place for those who love panoramic views and want to immerse themselves in the history of Perugia.
The early morning and late afternoon are the best times to enjoy the panoramic views, when the light is softer and the shadows create a suggestive effect. Bring a camera or a smartphone with a good camera to capture the breathtaking views. Binoculars can be useful to observe the details in the distance.
Visiting Perugia is an experience that cannot be missed on your itinerary in Umbria. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a history lover or simply looking for a moment of tranquility, the views of Perugia will leave you breathless. Plan your visit and get ready to discover one of the most fascinating cities in Italy from a unique perspective.

The Sestri Peninsula seen from Ciappa du Lu

La Penisola di Sestri vista dalla Ciappa du Lu

The houses on the Sestri Peninsula seen from Ciappa du Lu.
Some time ago now, I went to the famous rock called Ciappa du Lu (reachable from the path that starts from Sestri to go to Punta Manara).
From there, with my telephoto lens, I took several photos of the Sestri Peninsula from an unusual (for me) perspective.

Don't you also think the view from this rock is splendid?

A wonderful window on the sea in Portovenere

Una meravigliosa finestra sul mare a Portovenere

A wonderful window on the sea in Portovenere.
Portovenere, a charming village located on the Ligurian coast, is known for its natural beauty and historical heritage. Among the many architectural treasures that adorn this picturesque village, one of the most famous is undoubtedly the quadrifora of the Church of San Pietro.
The quadrifora, a window with four lights, is located just near the Church of San Pietro and looks towards the west. This architectural element is characterized by four small arches supported by three small columns, creating a visual effect of great elegance and lightness. The church itself, built in the 13th century by the Genoese, has a Gothic style with black and white bands that add a further touch of refinement.
The position of the quadrifora offers a spectacular view of the sea to the west with the gaze that meets the Cinque Terre. This panoramic point is one of the most photographed in Portovenere, attracting visitors from all over the world who wish to capture the timeless beauty of this place. The combination of Gothic architecture and the seascape creates a unique and evocative atmosphere.
The quadrifora of Portovenere is not only an architectural element of great aesthetic value, but also represents an important piece of history and culture. Its conservation is essential to keep alive the memory of the past and to continue to inspire future generations.

Sestri vista dalla terrazza dell’Hotel Vis a Vis

Sestri Levante vista dalla terrazza dell’Hotel Vis a Vis.
Quando un paio di anni fa mi sono sposato ho scelto di fare la festa nel punto, che credo essere, il più panoramico di Sestri Levante: la terrazza dell’Hotel Vis a Vis.
Da lì infatti si ha una vista incomparabile sulla Penisola sestrese e sulle due baie (la Baia del Silenzio e la Baia delle Favole) della mmia cittadina.

Oggi (a dire la verità diverso tempo fa) lo sguardo del mio obiettivo si è posato sulla mastodontica cupola di una delle più famose chiese di Copenaghen.

The village of Camogli seen from the Via Aurelia

Il borgo di Camogli visto dalla via Aurelia

The village of Camogli seen from the Via Aurelia.
Some time ago, traveling along the Via Aurelia to go to Genoa, I took several photos of the villages of the Ligurian Riviera di Levante and today I want to tell you about Camogli.
Camogli is a charming seaside village located along the coast of Liguria, in the northwest of Italy. With its colorful houses overlooking the Ligurian Sea, its picturesque harbor and quiet atmosphere, Camogli is a hidden gem that captures the heart of anyone who sets foot there.
The colorful houses overlooking the sea: Camogli welcomes visitors with its fascinating skyline of multicolored houses climbing the surrounding hills. Each building seems to tell a story, contributing to creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
The picturesque harbor of Camogli is the beating heart of the village. Colorful fishing boats add an authentic touch to the view, while restaurants along the harbor offer the chance to enjoy local delicacies with a view of the sea.
Looking out over the harbor, the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta dominates the skyline with its elegance. This place of worship, built in the 12th century, is a charming example of Romanesque architecture and offers a haven of serenity.
For breathtaking views of the sea and the coast, take the Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi. This scenic path will take you along the cliff, giving you spectacular views and the opportunity to soak in the beauty of the surrounding nature.
The Tradition of the Stella Maris Festival: Camogli is also famous for the traditional “Festa del Stella Maris,” held every August. This event sees the sea lit up with thousands of candles, creating a magical and evocative spectacle.
Be sure to savor local delicacies, such as focaccia genovese and freshly caught fish. The restaurants along the port offer a culinary experience that will satisfy your senses.
Camogli enchants with its authenticity, inviting you to immerse yourself in its traditions, enjoy the beauty of the sea and taste the slow life of this charming seaside village. Come and lose yourself in the narrow streets and breathtaking views of Camogli – an experience that will remain etched in your memories.

Some time ago I went to eat in Carpenissone (alla Tagliola) and on the way back the view opened up onto the valleys that slope down towards the sea. Here ends the Valfontanabuona (but also the Valle Sturla).
This beautiful panorama is dominated by this very old church dedicated to San Martino.

To see in detail the path I took I invite you to go to wikiloc.com.

Here's where the top is:

The summit of the Zatta mountain massif consists of a long wavy ridge, crossed by an easy ridge path. On the outer edges of this ridge are the Zatta di Ponente mountain (1355 m) and the Prato Pinello mountain (1390 m). Between the two ends rises the main peak, the Zatta di Levante mountain (1404 m). The southern slope is steep and stony, while the northern slope, towards the Bocco pass, has a gentler slope and is covered by a large beech forest.
