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.
