The fountain of the Marine Genius in Piazza Colombo in Genoa.
In the very central Piazza Colombo there is this beautiful fountain (which was previously in front of the Royal Palace) restored quite recently.
The photo was taken coming from Via XX Settembre along Via Galata.

Here's where the fountain is located:

The fountain was moved from Ponte Reale to Piazza Colombo in 1861 to embellish the new nineteenth-century square commissioned by the architect Resasco. Not only beauty but also utility since the barchile served as a watering place for horses and mules coming from the countryside that passed through loaded with vegetables towards the eastern market.

The central Via Galata in Genoa.
Located near the modern center of the city, between the Brignole train station, Via San Vincenzo and Via Venti Settembre, this street is one of the most seen by commuters who reach the many offices in the center from the station.
The name of the street, Galata, recalls one of the neighborhoods of the Turkish city of Istanbul; Turks who had a large community in Genoa.

The current neighborhood, formerly known as “Pera” and founded by the Genoese, is developed on a hill overlooking the sea, surrounded by narrow streets and alleys (almost carruggi), on which stands the Galata Tower, on whose entrance a historical inscription commemorates Genoa. Despite many earthquakes, it has never collapsed and today it is a tourist destination for the view that can be enjoyed over the entire old part of Istanbul from its summit terrace.
