Safety barriers are everywhere around Livorno: usually to protect the passers-by from the fall of debris from derelict buildings. Also the church of Saint Gregory the Illuminator, in its own small way, has a few of them now...
By the way, the sign says: “Livorno, Città Storica delle Nazioni” (Livorno, Historical City of the Nations).

Reminds me of our National Cathedral in D.C. where they've installed nets to catch stones that may have worked loose as a result of an earthquake.
This is such a wonderful facade. It is heartbreaking that the structure is decaying so much. Sorry!
That's such a beautiful church with gorgeous details...
Yes, having that sign on a dangerous building is ironic.
Maybe the Armenians can contribute to a restoration?
I hope they are thinking of restoring this old church VP, would be such a shame to abandon it.
It is a lovely building VP.
nice entrance
Beautiful sculptures above the entrance, pity that the wall is crumbling, it would not take much to restore it...
What a beautiful façade!
