Bassorilievo di San Giorgio a Moneglia.
Dal momento che questo Santo è il protettore di Genova (non il patrono) in tutta la Liguria si trovano moltissime effigie con la classica rappresentazione mentre trafigge il drago.
Questo bassorilievo l’ho trovato nel carrugio di Moneglia, un borgo molto carino ultimo comune a Levante della provincia di Genova.

The icon of the Sanctuary of Montallegro
One of the most beloved places of worship in my area, and perhaps in my region, is the Sanctuary of Montallegro, on the heights of Rapallo.
The symbol and emblem of this place is the effigy that according to legend was found in the spot where the apparition to the Rapallo farmer took place.
The original effigy is still in the sanctuary, in the photo, protected by angels.

Here is where the Sanctuary is located:

Considered one of the main Marian sanctuaries in the metropolitan area of Genoa and Liguria, it was built by the people of Rapallo between 1557 and 1558, together with the adjoining shelter for pilgrims, after the apparition of the Virgin Mary on 2 July 1557 to the farmer Giovanni Chichizola. The current marble façade dates back to the renovation carried out by the Milanese architect Luigi Rovelli in 1896, and inaugurated with a solemn ceremony on 21 June of that year.
