Above a door in Genova

In the Via degli Orefici in the old city of Genova in the north of Italy is the doorway to a shop, nothing special really.

…but look above the doorway.

You will see a relief…Adoration of the Magi, attributed to Giovanni Gagani and dated 1460.

That it is still there intact is amazing. We wouldn’t have noticed it if a kindly local had not directed us towards it.

Italy is full of surprises like this.
