A small square in the centre of Deiva Marina in Liguria.
To tell the truth, this glimpse of the village of Deiva is the widening of via G. Embriaco (Guglielmo, one of the most important figures of the Genoese Middle Ages) in the centre of the small Ligurian seaside town.
I walked in the seaside part of the village a few months ago on a beautiful autumn day.

In 1099, Guglielmo Embriaco, known as “Caput mallei” together with his brother Primo Embriaco, armed two galleys, the Embriaga and the Grifona and, with about 200 Genoese sailors, soldiers and crossbowmen, set sail for Jaffa. Noticing the arrival of a large Muslim fleet, he landed in the city’s port, literally dismantled the ships, and disguised himself as a merchant in a caravan, travelling the 20 kilometres that separated him from Jerusalem. Once he reached the crusader camp, he was received by Godfrey of Bouillon, commander of the Christian forces, and in exchange for considerable booty, he promised to conquer the city with his 200 Genoese where his allies, with over 10,000 men, had failed.
