The sixteenth-century wing overlooks via della Mercanzia, with the façade entirely covered with frescoes by Raimondo Sirotti that follow those made at the beginning of the twentieth century by Ludovico Pogliaghi, who in turn had rebuilt, reinterpreting them, the original ones of the Tavarone.
The painted decoration of the facade reproduces a marble cladding with ashlar on the ground floor and pilasters that divide the façade into three sections. In the center of the façade, above the imposing marble entrance portal, stands the polychrome figure depicting St. George on horseback killing the dragon, a recurring image in numerous portals of the buildings of the historic center: in the Middle Ages the saint was in fact considered the very symbol of Republic. The subject was freely interpreted by Sirotti in 1990, having disappeared all traces of the seventeenth-century original. On the sides, from left to right, six bronze statues are painted inside false niches, depicting some historical figures of the Republic: the annalist Caffaro, the "Prince" Andrea Doria, the doge Simone Boccanegra (according to some the painting would instead depict the founder of the palace, Guglielmo Boccanegra), the crusader leader Guglielmo Embriaco known as "Head of a mallet", the navigator Christopher Columbus and finally the admiral Benedetto Zaccaria.
The decoration is completed by the figures of Janus and Neptune, also in fake bronze, and the coat of arms of the "Conservatori del Mare", the body in charge of governing the port at the time of the Republic of Genoa. The facade culminates with the clock tower.

CN M337 rides into the sunset behind a pair of IC SD70s coming around the curve near Genoa, Illinois on the former Iowa Division.
Genoa has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean. it is currently the busiest in Italy and twelfth-busiest in the European Union. It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus.
Porto Antico, Genoa’s old port, which native son Renzo Piano transformed by rejuvenating its old buildings, designing an aquarium (the largest in Europe), and the Bigo Crane, now an iconic symbol for the new-old port. Its lift takes you up 40 meters to enjoy sweeping views of the city. The word "bigo" refers to a shipyard crane. Copying a ship's crane, Piano wanted to remind viewers of the loading cranes on decks of cargo ships in the past. Here it's a branched cluster of white arms and cables joined at a small podium in the water of the port. The longest of the poles on the quay side supports an elevator with a turning glass enclosure.
Internationally known architect Renzo Piano was born in Genoa. Piano was responsible for the master plan as well as specific areas for the redevelopment of the area of the old port (or the Porto Antico), which had suffered bomb damage during World War II and was in a shabby state. It became the focus of redevelopment as a way of marking the five hundredth anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America--as part of the Columbus International Exhibition in 1992. Piano transformed the wharves into a huge tourist attraction by converting warehouses into shops, restaurants, and museums.

Dear Flickr friends, this morning I went to Genoa for work, and I was so lucky to take a look at this wonderful sunrise. I took this photo with my cameraphone from the railroad, when the train stopped at Genova Nervi railway station.
I only cropped this shot, colours are original (please see EXIF).
Non sarà di certo come quella di Londra, ma la ruota panoramica al Porto Antico regale luce e colore alle notti genovesi
The weather on this day of shooting was really interesting. I woke up in Hope Valley with about 2 inches of snow on my truck and a forecast of more to come. The road wasn't frozen and was drivable, so I decided to drive down the mountain to Genoa, NV. Genoa is the oldest settlement in Nevada that is still alive and well.
When I got here it was warmer and I was getting a light rain. Thankfully, the rain let up and as I was leaving Genoa to explore more of the area, I saw this rainbow. I hadn't captured a rainbow in a while and decided to shoot it. It wasn't the best-looking rainbow I've seen, but the sky looked great, and this is what I was able to get.
CN G889 rolls up on Genoa, Illinois behind an IC SD70 leader anticipating a meet with an eastbound ethanol train at Colvin Park. According to a 1944 Iowa Division track chart, the depot on the right was built in 1942.
San Lorenzo dates from 1180 - the B & W marble style was used more famously (but a century later) in places like Siena, but it is impressive here as well...
Today was an interesting day. It started with snow and heavy winds in Hope Valley, and I decided to drive East off the mountain towards Nevada. Genoa was recommended to me by a couple of people as a place to explore. Genoa is the oldest community in Nevada and was founded in 1851. The original watering hole is still serving beer today.
As I was driving out of town, I wanted to capture some trees that still had yellow leaves on them next to a creek. I got a couple of worthy shots and then I saw this rainbow. Of course, I pulled over when I saw a place that I could frame it well. This was the winner and the beginning of a fun day of exploring.

Alla vigilia della festività natalizia quando la stragrande maggioranza delle persone correvano frenetiche nelle vie dello shopping per cercare gli ultimi regali di natale mi sono preso qualche ora per fare qualche scatto al nostro magico porto antico anche in considerazione delle discrete previsioni meteo.Il porto antico di Genova è uno di quei posti che non ti stancheresti mai di poter contemplare forse per quel senso di serenità che regala al visitatore nel guardare la perfezione delle nuove costruzioni che hanno donato uno charme inatteso alla città. La fortuna ha voluto che il cielo si colorasse di incredibili venature nuvolose di color rosa con meravigliosi riflessi nello specchio d'acqua di fronte a me.
Questo tramonto è uno dei più belli che abbia visto in questi ultimi mesi e la fortuna ha voluto che avessi con me la mia reflex per immortalare questo splendido scenario.
