Golden Italian Light, Genoa
The second of this Images of Italy series in which I’m featuring photos of places and items which are intrinsically Italian, is devoted to Italian light.
Boccadasse, Genova, Italy
Welcome to the start of a new Saturday feature on Blog from Italy – Images of Italy. I know the title is not that original, but it’s pretty self explanatory, so it’ll do.

A Fine Evening in Genoa
