Questa strada era Via dell'Olio. A causa dei bombardamenti della WWII non esiste più. Collegava Via del Giglio a Piazza Grande. Le colonne che si vedono sullo fondo sono i portici di Piazza Grande.

This street was Via dell'Olio. Due to the bombings of World War II, it no longer exists. It connected Via del Giglio to Piazza Grande. The columns you see in the background are the porticoes of Piazza Grande.
