No, not San Gimigniano

Albenga has a splendid Roman Naval Museum, due to the excavations of the many ships wrecked off the island of Gallinara near Albenga.  
The waist was full of amphora, packed in
Inserted points between the ones below 
Until some sale of wine unbalanced quite
The storage in the body of the ship.
A sharp wind catching sailors unaware
Upset the ship and tipped it up to rest
For nearly 2 millenia on the bed
With fishes drinking wine and feeding on
The kitchen stores that should have fed the crew.
