The Farraggiana Palace in Genoa, built around 1820, was located between the railway station and the maritime station. It was purchased by the Società Transatlantica to allow its wealthy clientele to stay in a luxury hotel during the transfer from train to ship.
The Arab rider and his horse are likely a nod to the fantasias and cruises to North Africa offered by the Società Transatlantica.
