The splendid Piazza San Matteo in Genoa.
In the centre of Genoa, a few dozen metres from Piazza De Ferrari, there is this beautiful square which, with its buildings and especially the abbey, is in my opinion one of the most beautiful in all of Genoa.
In fact, in addition to the Abbey of San Matteo, there are the Palazzo Lamba Doria, the Palazzo Gnecco Quartara (behind in the photo) and the Palazzo Domenicaccio Doria (on the left) and Branca Doria (in the centre between the church and the previous building).

Here's where the square is located:
Martino Doria, who entered the Benedictine friars of the Abbey of San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte after becoming a widower, obtained permission from Bishop Sigifredo to build a small church on land owned by the family near the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. The dedication of the new church to San Matteo was linked to his profession as a tax collector, just like the Dorias, who therefore made him their patron.
