🏰 Exploring Vezzi Portio: discover the internal history

🏰 Exploring Vezzi Portio: discover the intertwined history of two villages! Once separated, Vezzi and Portio have followed distinct historical paths. Vezzi lived under the dominion of the Del Carretto and then the Cigala, a fascinating Genoese family. Portio, on the other hand, was part of the Marquisate of Finale Ligure, passing to Spain and subsequently to the Republic of Genoa. In 1815, both became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia and in 1861 in the Kingdom of Italy, joining their paths. Now, the two municipalities are a single administrative entity, but their history still shines. 🕊️ The Church of San Filippo Neri is a jewel that tells the artistic past of this land. Belonging to the Genoese Baroque period, it combines the Baroque with simpler lines and volumes, perfectly in harmony with the surrounding environment 🔔 The sober facade hides a treasure of internal decorations, a tribute to the rich concept of Baroque. ✨ This church, like many others, is an open window on the history and art of Vezzi Portio. 📸 Catalog of Cultural Heritage https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/ArchitecturalOrLandscapeHeritage #VezziPortio #StoriaAntica #ArteBarocchetto

How many of you knew that this summer Linea Blu

How many of you knew that @rai1official's Linea Blu was in our beloved Gulf of the Island this summer? 🌊 @donatellabianchiofficial, accompanied by the crew, began her fascinating journey starting from the picturesque seaside village of Noli, nestled along the splendid Riviera del Ponente Ligure. 🏖️ The journey continues to Genoa, "the Superb," a powerful Maritime Republic and the heart of world sailing with the Ocean Race, the toughest and most challenging crewed ocean regatta in the world. ⛵ Noli, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, welcomed them with its characteristic medieval streets (the famous carüggi), surrounded by majestic medieval walls and dominated by high towers, which tell of its glorious past as a maritime city. Noli has always been a trusted ally of nearby Genoa. During this exciting journey, the Linea Blu crew sailed the waters of our sea, sailing along the suggestive cliffs of Capo Noli and the Gulf of the Island. Here, it was possible to witness an extraordinary event: the sighting of a humpback whale a few hundred meters from the shore. We are in fact in the Pelagos Sanctuary, a "hot spot" of biodiversity to be studied and protected, which continues to offer unexpected encounters with whales, dolphins and other wonderful cetaceans in their natural habitat. 🐋🌊 This is an extraordinary demonstration of how important it is to preserve the beauty and biodiversity of our Gulf of the Island. It is an honor for us to share its magnificence with the world and be part of this incredible adventure ❤️ We leave you the link in bio to the episode to discover all the details of this extraordinary journey: https://urly.it/3y4k9 #LineaBlu # GolfoDellIsola #Noli #MarinaBiodiversity #Nature #Travel #Exploration

🏰✨ Let's explore the extraordinary Door together

🏰✨ Let's explore the extraordinary Porta di San Giovanni a Noli together! This majestic 22 meter tower with a rectangular base is an authentic architectural treasure. Its most fascinating feature? The 80 cm slope on the sea side, like a sentinel proudly erected over the waves, defying time and tides 🌊⛵ Articulated on three floors, with a base supported by robust stone pillars from the Finalese area and elegant Gothic arches, this tower has roots in the 1530th-XNUMXth century. It was built on a previous city wall and shares an elegant connection to a turret called Sant'Antonio. Architectural details that evoke Noli's glorious past. Under the portico, there is the original wooden door, covered in sheet metal, an authentic historical artefact intact over the centuries. It is a window into the past, testimony to the days when this gate defended the city 🔒🕰️ The wonders continue outside the walls along the ancient mule track, today known as Via Monastero: - The Church of San Giovanni (or of the Knights of Malta ): Dating back to the XNUMXth century, this church hosted the Knights of Malta and boasts fascinating Romanesque and XNUMXth-century elements. - The Monastery of Santa Maria del Rio: This monastery hosted a female monastic community from the XNUMXth century until XNUMX, when it passed to the Olivetan monks of Finalpia. It retains an elegant entrance and a well-preserved ancient well, as well as historical evidence such as a plaque on the left wall of the entrance. Exploring Noli is like taking a step back in time, and the Porta di San Giovanni is an unmissable stop on this fascinating journey through history ✨🔑 #Noli #History #Architecture #HiddenTreasures
