The sailors of Milan replied to him that he was the Lantern and this said that knowing the port of Genoa had never seen it … they replied that it was there, at least since 1300. In short, […]

As can be seen from the photographs, there are several boats and boats on the beach or stranded on the shore of the beach or on the beach in front of the seafront. At the […]
