... referring to the beach of Sestri Levante that embraces it from the cliffs and the rocks of Sant'Anna (Rocche di Sant'Anna) to the park of the Piscina dei Castelli.

I've always been swimming at Baia delle favole at sunset, when all the lovers of tanning have returned to the Caruggio (ligurian street in city centre) for the aperitif, I am there to watch the spectacle of the sun that slowly rests on the headland of Portofino and when I no longer see it, it comforts me to know that it illuminates the cliff of the Cala degli Inglesi and the small Bay of St. Fruttuoso that houses the abbey Abbazia di S. Fruttuoso and the Tower of The Doria, now owned by the FAI (Italian Fund for Ambient).
The golden reflections of the setting sun on the spot where the Cristo degli Abissi (Christ of the Abyss) is sinking create a mystical atmosphere.

It was living these moments, such as walking in the old town or climbing to the Convent of the Capuchins or the Church of St. Nicolò of the Island (Chiesa di S. Nicolò dell’Isola) that, in my early twenties, I decided that, at the time of retirement, I would move to a Piedmont like cottage but in Sestri Levante.
