Descrizione:
A quadrangular fineraria stele with a carved pediment crowned in low relief on which is engraved a dedicatory inscription to the demos, typical of Smyrna stelae. Below the pediment is the main inscription. In the centre of the work, a figurative scene is carved in bas-relief with a hammer: on the left, a female figure seated on a throne, wearing a chiton tied under the breast and covered on the head by a matel, which she removes from her face with her left hand, which can be traced back to the type of so-called pudicitia. In the centre is a cylindrical altar, decorated at the top and bottom with a string-cord frame. On the right is a smaller figure, an attendant, wearing a chiton tied under the breast and an apoptigma reaching above the knee. The left arm descends along the body, and the right arm, abraded, must have been stretched forward.

OAM – Open Air Museum and S518 Nazario Sauro Submarine
Back to Focus:
(Docking in front of Galata Museum - Open Air Museum)
The Open Air Museum is located in front of the Galata Maritime Museum, between the Aquarium and the Maritime Station. Since 2009 it is the location where is moored the Submarine S 518 Nazario Sauro, the first Italian floating museum. Later, two original port cranes (one with manual handling and the other with Florentine electrical technology) were placed on the opposite quay.
As of today, the "Nazario Sauro S518" is the only Italian submarine that can be visited on the water. It was built in 1976 by Fincantieri for the Italian Navy and was decommissioned in 2002. The sound of crew voices, engines, sonars, radars and torpedo launchers accompany the visitor in an exciting experience. In addition to the visit of the submarine, visitors can learn more about living on board in a small environment, maneuvering and piloting through several multimedia activities available inside the museum.
This open-air museum enhances one of the places where Genoa is close to its sea: the activities present today and the memory of those who were practiced in the past.
