The image depicts a narrow, ascending stone staircase alleyway in Vernazza, Italy, identified by a white street sign on the right reading "VIA G. BATTISTA". The alley is flanked by multi-story buildings painted in shades of yellow and ochre. The immediate foreground features a dark overhead archway, from which a decorative black metal light fixture hangs. On the left, a smooth yellow stucco wall extends upwards, with a black metal handrail curving along its textured grey base. On the right, the wall transitions from rough, exposed stone in the foreground to a smoother ochre stucco further up. A segmented black metal handrail is affixed horizontally to this wall section. Approximately 15-20 irregular stone steps ascend into the background, some appearing to have lighter-colored, possibly brick or concrete, inserts. Several dark doorways or entrances are visible along the walls. Further up the alley, windows with green louvred shutters are discernible on the upper floors of buildings. Overhead wires are visible along the building facades. The alley gradually narrows and brightens towards the distant top, where a clear sky is visible. No individuals, animals, or vehicles are present in the scene.
