The gate, adorned with intricate red crosses and a flowing skirt-like design, serves as a unique blend of Italian history, religious symbolism, and fashion. 3. Background: Bordighera, a picturesque coastal town nestled in the Ligurian region of Italy, is renowned for its beautiful gardens, stunning architecture, and rich cultural heritage. The Sottana Gate, located in the historic center of the town, is one of its most iconic landmarks. 4. Symbolism: The gate's name, "Sottana," is derived from the Italian word for a traditional long, full skirt. The skirt design on the gate is a nod to the local tradition of women wearing long, flowing skirts. The red crosses, however, symbolize the strong Catholic faith that permeates the region. 5. Hospital: The Sottana Gate served as the entrance to the former San Giovanni Battista Hospital, which was founded in the late 16th century. The hospital, which was run by the Sisters of Mercy, provided care for the sick and the poor. The gate was a symbol of hope and healing for the community. 6. Architecture: The Sottana Gate is a fine example of Ligurian Baroque architecture. Its intricate design, with its red crosses and flowing skirt motif, is a testament to the artistic and cultural richness of the region.
