The houses overlooking Caricamento square in Genoa.
The front of the houses in the historic center of Genoa is truly spectacular.
Beautiful buildings, all refreshed and well-repaired, are the city's calling card for those visiting the famous Aquarium or the Porto Antico.
Unfortunately, behind it, not everything is always so clean and tidy.
From Piazza Caricamento passing through Sottoripa to Porta dei Vacca.

Numerous photographs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries show the square crowded with carts pulled by donkeys, oxen or horses, waiting to load or unload goods of all kinds.
