The plaque affixed under Porta dei Vacca in Genoa

La lapide affissa sotto Porta dei Vacca a Genova

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.

Have you ever seen this tombstone?

I discovered recently that in Moneglia there are some links of the chains of the port of Pisa, defeated by Genoa in the famous Battle of Meloria.
And, in addition to the chain, also a bas-relief and a plaque that tell the reason for their presence in the Levantine village.

I took several photos in the village and if you want to see them all click here:

The Battle of Meloria was a historic naval battle involving the fleet of the Republic of Genoa and that of the Maritime Republic of Pisa. The battle, which took place on August 6, 1284 off the coast of Porto Pisano, greatly weakened the Pisan naval fleet, beginning the slow decline of Pisa as a maritime power in Italy during the Middle Ages.

The famous and wonderful Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa.
I take this opportunity to publish these photos of the famous Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa today with the hope that Christmas can make the wishes you have expressed come true... hoping that they are not miracles!
The two photos are of the same square (you will say: "thanks for the information!") but the first one is processed in HDR to give it a little more, if you like that kind of thing!

Where is the square located:

The Piazza del Duomo is the most important artistic and tourist center of Pisa. Listed among the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO since 1987, you can admire the monuments that form the center of the city's religious life, called miracles (by Gabriele d'Annunzio in 1910) for their beauty and originality: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Campo Santo and the Bell Tower. From this comes the popular name of Piazza dei Miracoli which then spread in the post-war era of mass tourism.
