The beautiful Piazza Grillo Cattaneo in the alleys of Genoa.
Walking through the alleys of the historic center of Genoa, a couple of times already, I ended up in this beautiful little square overlooking one of the buildings of the Genoese Rolli (Palazzo Lorenzo Cattaneo).
The splendid entrance portal, on the left, is certainly what attracts the eye but the square itself is really beautiful.
