Piazza delle Erbe, in Genoa, represents a real natural theater in the historic center, a "stage" used for some time and more and more often, with the increasing tendency to enhance the entire area, for each type of events. The square is so called because in the past there was a market for herbs. With its characteristic "barchile" (small fountain) miraculously preserved and its houses that possess the charm of the past, it is one of the most evocative and picturesque realities of old Genoa.
