Alley Streamers (Answer)

I may be mistaken, but I think this puzzle will be very difficult so I have many street views from different angles with business names shown.  It is a western European country.  I am not sure of the purpose of the streamers that cross the alley.  I will give an early clue if this location draws blanks on the Master Gamers or just us Gamers.

These are all street views.

Thanks for the clue dagger66 but this seems to be a second puzzle rather than a clue, what I call a Type 3 clue (a favorite type of yours I've noticed). But first, even if I knew the city I wouldn't know what to look for in the city. That's the real puzzle here, not where it is. That's what I need a clue for (I can't speak for others, but I don't see many other people looking, everybody seems to have found it but me). Second, all religious sect leaders who were enemies of the Catholic Church in the past met the same kind of fate. And only in Italy there are 110 provinces. Don't expect me to check them all.

And thanks for leaving the business names visible by the way, they didn't help at all. 😁

When I know what I'm looking for I'll start looking again.

Kudos to those who found this without a clue. Yet another one where I don't even suspect how you did it. Not RIS, not keywords (unless you know what the streamers are, which I don't), not the business names in the image. That's all I'm sure of. 🤔

Clue #2

Gattinara DOCG is a wine in this region.
Was the capital of a Ligurian Tribe.
One of the oldest cities in the Piedmont Region.

OK so now I'm totally confused, because of Google Lens, not the 2nd clue. I started looking for the city based on the 2nd clue, intending to add the city to the Google Lens search, and before I could add the city, GL returned a photo of the place!!!! Which it never did before. What's wrong with you Google Lens? 😫 Now I understand how the others found it. They had the lucky day GL. Random results to different people at different times! 🤪

Thank you for your help and patience Dagger !

Thanks for the clues
