The plaque in Moneglia in memory of the victory of the battle of Meloria.
When visiting the beautiful seaside village of Moneglia, you cannot miss a visit to the church of Santa Croce, on the outside of which stands this beautiful plaque (which is perhaps a bas-relief) with two links of a chain next to it.
In reality, those two rings were donated by the Republic of Genoa to the city of Moneglia, and more precisely to one of its citizens, in recognition of their participation in the historic and victorious battle against Pisa.
