"Church of San Pietro in Banchi Located just steps from the ancient harbor, and perched above a small series of shops (that have been used for centuries as 'rental income' for the church itself), San Pietro in Banchi has an air of 'incompletion' - especially the exterior. But finished for the last time in 1585 (while built on ruins from the 9th century), the beautiful interior ceiling, flooded with natural sunlight from the octagonal glass dome, showcases some of the loveliest art of that period."

Very small but full of atmosphere and spirit. Beautifully implanted into the everyday life of the neighborhood.

Saying goes, "smallest thing in life, often the best". Tucked away in a pretty tight spot, has such calming ambience.

Genoa is full of surprises like this lovely little church in the Piazza de San Pietro. S. Pietro in Banchi or the Church of St. Peter "at the gate or on the stalls" is aptly named because of its ancient position besides the sea, at the gates of the City, and above the associated money exchange stalls of this once global powerhouse. What I loved most about this Church was all the white marble and the resulting geometric harmony and classic equilibrium. My few pictures did not do this Church justice, but Gayle and I did make an excuse to come back the next morning (before leaving for the airport) to take another look both inside and out.
