Piazza Caricamento di fronte al Porto Antico di Genova.
Qualche mese fa sono stato in “gita” a Genova e ho scattato decine di foto che piano piano sto inserendo.
Questa è la bella e grande piazza che separa il porto antico dai vicoli del centro storico.
Uno degli angoli di Genova che i turisti vedono più spesso.

Here's where the square is located:
The square, built in 1839 as the terminus of the new coastal road named after King Carlo Alberto (now Via Gramsci), was called Caricamento starting in 1854, when it became the terminus, intended for the loading and unloading of goods related to the port, of the railway designed as an extension of the Turin-Genoa line to serve port traffic. Numerous photographs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries show the square crowded with carts pulled by donkeys, oxen or horses, waiting to load or unload goods of all kinds.
