The Fountain of the Marine Genius in Piazza Colombo
The fountain of the Marine Genius in Piazza Colombo in Genoa.
In the very central Piazza Colombo there is this beautiful fountain (which was previously in front of the Royal Palace) restored quite recently.
The photo was taken coming from Via XX Settembre along Via Galata.

Here's where the fountain is located:
The fountain was moved from Ponte Reale to Piazza Colombo in 1861 to embellish the new nineteenth-century square commissioned by the architect Resasco. Not only beauty but also utility since the barchile served as a watering place for horses and mules coming from the countryside that passed through loaded with vegetables towards the eastern market.
