The plaque affixed under Porta dei Vacca in Genoa. Under Porta dei Vacca, one of the entrances to the historic center of Genoa (from which Via del Campo starts), I discovered and photographed this beautiful plaque thinking it was linked to the gate. Searching further online I discovered that it is a plaque that refers to the battle that made Genoa triumph over Pisa and that it was placed where there were some chains from the defeated port.

Via del Campo (in Ligurian in-no Campo) is a paved street in the Genoese district of Prè, which crosses the caruggi of the historic center in a transverse direction. It is best known for being the setting for one of the most famous songs by the Genoese singer-songwriter Fabrizio De André, set to music with Enzo Jannacci, entitled, precisely, Via del Campo and included in the album Volume I. The street was later also cited in the song La casa in via del Campo by Amália Rodrigues. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia
