Italian Riviera - Nervi



On a recent trip to Genoa and the Italian Riviera, I spent a delightful afternoon exploring Nervi, a fishing village now swallowed up by Genoa on its eastern edge. It has a charming harbour...


And a very scenic coastal path called Passiegetta Anita Garibaldi offering gorgeous views of the Ligurian Coast...


Nervi can easily be reached by train from either Principe or Brignole railway station (Genoa) in twenty five minutes - Enjoy!!

The dark and narrow blind alleys in the old town of Genoa between the Port and the Palaces are particularly atmospheric to wander through and photograph.......More posts on Genoa and the Italian Riviera this week. For more shadow shots this week, click HERE for Shadow Shot Sunday. Enjoy!!

Shadow Shot 183 - Genoa


Genoa is saturated with 17thc Palazzos, the lavish interiors of which have to be seen to be believed, but these shadowy shots were taken down a side street away from the flashy facades just off Via Garibaldi, home to the UNESCO Heritage site of the Palazzo Rolli...


Palazzo Rolli takes its name from the Italian word for "list", and is comprised of some 44 palaces which were registered "on the list" to host any visiting dignitaries to Genoa. Be sure to visit Palazzos Rossi, Bianco, Tursi, Real, and Ducale when you are in this fascinating city...

Weekend Reflections 29 - Camogli




Fisherman getting his boat ready in the harbour at Camogli on the Ligurian coast not far from Genoa, Italian Riviera. Can't decide whether I prefer the reflections in sepia, monochrome, or colour - what do you think?? For more reflection shots this week click HERE for Weekend Reflections.
