Liguria has a unique city, Genoa, called magnificent by Petrarch whose poems depicted it as regal, leaning against a steep hill, magnificent for its people and walls, whose sole aspect claims it Queen of the sea and of which Wagner stated “I have never seen anything like this Genoa. It’s something undescribably beautiful, majestic, characteristic: Paris and London in comparison to this divine city vanish like simple groups of houses and streets without any shape…”. Today, its historic center with noble palazzos, the Rolli, was declared World Heritage by Unesco.

Cladled between land and sea, living and working in the port, breathing its past in her patrician palaces, passionately fond of the terraced hills that embrace the city, Genova is a city of many different faces.
A modern metropolis and a severe costudian of artistic heritage, an industrious marketplace that also had shady, century-old parks to relax in.

Genoa hides her riches in an historical centre that looks traditionally seaward yet at the same time exhibits a new beauty achieved by restoring the splendour of ages past. Youthfulness springs from the new urban fabric that har restored works of ats and architecture.

Enticement abounds in the vistas between sea and sky, over the cliff rising sheer from the water, in the colours of the verdant hills.
