Small but beautiful...to be seen again in the summer

The bridges in the Rezzo Valley are commonly called "Napoleonic" because local tradition and some historical sources link their construction or reconstruction to the period of Napoleon's occupation of Liguria and the opening of important new communication routes under French rule between 1805 and 1814. Not, therefore, because, as many say, they were used by Napoleon...

The trail is fairly easy to follow, a bit confusing at the beginning where you have to cross the stream (without taking off your shoes, just find the right spot... and then you have to follow the chain-link fence on the right, to simplify things).

The Cascata del Serpente is an enchanting natural spectacle immersed in the lush vegetation of the Ligurian Apennines. This waterfall, which takes its name from its sinuous shape, plunges with a suggestive leap into a pool of crystalline water. Easily accessible via a short hiking trail, the Cascata del Serpente is an ideal destination for nature lovers, offering a cool refuge on hot summer days and a perfect place for a regenerating break during walks.

Villetta Di Negro, for many Genoese “Dinegro” just to save space, is a municipal park in the center of the city of Genoa, on a small hill overlooking Piazza Corvetto and Piazzale Mazzini, partially covered with the bastions, called “Luccoli”, the walls dating back to the 17th century. The villa was built at the beginning of the 19th century by the Marquis Gian Carlo Di Negro and the park was decorated both with tall trees and paths with flowerbeds leading to the main villa, from which the view extended to the sea, with the presence of numerous statues, in keeping with the classical style of the period. In the second half of the 19th century, after the death of the Marquis Di Negro, the complex was bought by the City of Genoa and the villa was used as the Botanical Garden of the University of Genoa. During the bombings of World War II, the villa was practically destroyed except for the terrace overlooking the buildings in Piazza Fontane Marose, and in the following years it was rebuilt in modern style to house the Edoardo Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art. In the period between the two world wars, the garden was enriched both with alien plants and with two artificial "caves", one large and one small. In addition, the waterfall was designed by creating overhangs and pools to make the flow of water more spectacular.

Yes, okay, a good refreshment! Depending on how you go, the route from the Casano car park includes 2 paths that are inaccessible because they are private, so you have to take the detour by road. Be careful with your feet when going down and back up, it's better not to go in flip-flops ;)

It's still fun to go down to the waterfall. There are lots of big rocks to climb. Slippery here and there.

Very nice
