Very nice, pity no news on the wreck probably clam shelled to pieces...

I don't think they need have come from a single wreck, or a wreck at all. Genoa is one of the busiest harbours in the Med; the iron guns may have been used as bollards, ballast or weight. The bronze gun is the really intriguing find.
