A kaleidoscope of glimpses and suggestions, where history and modernity, nature and industrialisation live together in perfect harmony. Along the waters that lap Portus Naonis, the ancient mooring for commercial shipping, is mirrored the thriving nature of a town in constant turmoil, where in the palaces decorated by Contrada Maggiore the rival attractions are the works spread along the watercourse. The bell-towers of the Duomo of San Marco and of the church of San Giorgio stand out imperiously in guardianship of the provincial capital.
