Loading carts in Piazza Caricamento (1880)

"The docks were moved to their current position and the square was destined to goods sorting. Picture the horse carts, the donkeys, the so-called "camalli" (the dockworkers) and the sailing ships with all the chattering men busy loading and unloading goods and women selling "farinata" and fried fish in paper corns to the workers under the arcades."

100 years ago the square was a hub of carts that linked the ships to the city warehouses
