Sestri Levante
Sestri Levante is called "The city of the two Seas" because it overlooks two bays. The biggest one is called "bay of the Fables" after the writer Hans Christian Andersen named it this way in the 1830s; the other one is appropriately called the "bay of Silence", because its little dimensions make it a peaceful and tranquil corner of paradise.
ART
One of the churches in this town is Santa Maria di Nazareth, with relevant Ligurian artworks inside it.
One is The Discent of the Holy Spirit by Ligurian artist Domenico Fiasella. It is in the third chapel in the left aisle.
Then, you can find a work by Orazio De Ferrari, Death of St.Joseph, in the second chapel in the left aisle.
On the altar, there is a statue by Francesco Maria Schiaffino, showing The Virgin Mary rising atop of a cluster of clouds.
