The beautiful Banchi square in the ancient heart of Genoa
The beautiful Piazza Banchi in the ancient heart of Genoa.
I am copying the text of another article because the photo is practically the same but taken with a different lens.
This is one of the most famous squares in the historic center of Genoa.
In the background the church of San Pietro in Banchi and on the left the Loggia delle Mercanzie. In the middle of the square the old dehors with used newspapers and books.
