Latin writing on the door of a villa in Rapallo
Above the entrance to Villa Robilant, in Rapallo, there is this Latin phrase by Horace which says:
Non incedo per ignes suppositos cineri doloso (which means: You walk on burning coals hidden by deceptive ashes).
I don't quite understand the meaning but I think it's: be careful because under the deceptive ash, burning embers are hidden.
