The Lapide di Pila sul Gromolo in Sestri Levante.
This is the famous marble slab that gives its name to this area of ​​Sestri Levante.
In the hamlet of Pila sul Gromolo, as soon as you exit the motorway, the second roundabout (the one that joins via Nazionale, via Aurelia, via Giorgio Bo and via Sara).
Now, to tell the truth, it is really difficult to read what is written; the small plaque with the transcription helps us:

“To King Carlo Alberto
Since by His decree the path from Sestri to Varese has been made a road
and has been covered with gravel and equipped with protections
the inhabitants of Sestri, Casarza, Castiglione, Maissana, Varese
who have obtained the benefit of more agile transits thanks to the excellent and far-sighted Prince
in the year 1834
during the ministry for internal affairs
of the reign of Antonio Tonduti Count of L’Escarène”
