In this picture we see in the Lazza city quarter the first works for widening the road to the city of Recco, two miles away, until then little more than a hardly passable path for horse carts.

At the time of the picture the Tripoli Square (now officially Don Minzoni Square) still does not exists: the square will be realized two years later taking away the large rock hill visible at far left on the picture and whose detritus will serve to increase the shipyard below, called the Hell.

In the 1916 will also be realized the tall Davide Olivari Stairway (by the mayor who realized this work) that still today joins Tripoli Square (therefore so we continue to call it) to the above Mazzini Lane (than until the 1945 was called Queen Margherita Lane, but, differently, this name nobody remembers it).
