Composition: The village, with its characteristic church of San Giorgio perched on the cliff, is perched on the left, as if resisting the force of the elements. In the background, to the right, the outline of the islands of Tino and Palmaria can be glimpsed.

Style and Color: Caselli uses a textured and dynamic brushstroke, typical of his mature work. The waves are rendered with broad fields of white, blue, and emerald green, conveying a sense of movement and the foaming of the water. The sky, heavy with clouds but with glimpses of light, reflects the restlessness and beauty of the Ligurian Sea.

Mood: The work is not a simple postcard view, but a celebration of the power of nature, a theme Caselli explored obsessively throughout his career.
