Genoa, a city for all!
Capital of the Liguria region, Genoa is a city with a glorious past that lives in the present and is projected into the future.
The city is a treasure chest of surprises thanks to its glorious past. It has a very large historical and artistic heritage that can be discovered by walking in its historical center of medieval origin, one of the largest in Europe and with the highest population density.
In the urban area, between the hills and the sea, there are beautiful houses and ancient churches, which host works of art that can now be visited by the public. The ancient Palazzi dei Rolli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, represent the best of the most prestigious palaces in the historical center of Genoa. The rolli were lists of the splendid residences of noble families that aimed to host important individuals who were in Genoa on the occasion of state visits to the Ancient Republic.
Genoa is also known for its many Historical Shops, which have been active for over 100 years, where the specialties are still prepared according to ancient recipes and the handcrafted objects are processed according to century-old traditions.
The city of the present is the one where its citizens enjoy an aperitif on Saturdays in the brand new eastern market, who go to dinner in one of the trattorias in the historical center and who linger in the nightlife of Piazza delle Erbe, who go for a walk on Sunday afternoon between the Bigo and the ancient port, between the Aquarium and the Galata.
The Genoa of the future is the one imagined by Genoese architect Renzo Piano, with the waterfront he designed, now a major tourist attraction and a favorite walk of the locals.
It is also the Genoa of the major events, the new airport and Euroflora 2021.
