Via Garibaldi

My next stop was Via Garibaldi, which is on the list of UNESCO's World Heritage sites. Beginning in the 1500's grand palaces were constructed for noble families. In round-Robin, these families would host dignitaries visiting Genoa.

As I walked along I happened upon an antique shop with military medals in the window -- the kind hanging from a ribbon commemorating events or sacrifices made. I popped in.

And popped out with a WWI Italian medal. Will be pretty groovy for my jean jacket.
