Why this spot

Old fishing quarter of Sturla on a working port city's shore, decades of household and harbor glass in the drift

No published sea glass reports for this exact beach; an old fishing-village pebble strand downdrift of Genoa's port makes glass a sound inference, and Italian guides flag Liguria generally
