Product Description:
A detailed guide to every aspect of Genoa: history, culture, foods, restaurants, hotels, sightseeing, things to do - written by an author who knows the place intimately.

Two marble-carved lions crouch flanking the stairs leading to the entrance of Genoa's monumental cathedral of San Lorenzo. Their proud features are marred by graffiti - cartoonish scribbles rendering their expression more pathetic than fierce. They're an apt metaphor for the city of Genoa itself, which can be a challenging one for tourists. During two millennia of tumultuous history, Genoa has seen its fortunes rise and fall. At its pinnacle, the city - center of the Genoese Republic - had unparalleled wealth and economic and political power. French historiographer Fernand Braudel wrote of the city, "If ever a diabolically capitalist city can be said to have existed before the capitalist age in Europe and the world, then it is Genoa, opulent and sordid at the same time."

From these heights Genoa would plunge over successive centuries, losing hegemony, then autonomy, and finally prosperity. Today, it is a city in the grip of evolution. There is much that is decrepit and shabby, but there are also the heralds of a renaissance both economic and cultural. The lion that is Genoa may be blemished and humbled, but there is every evidence that with attention and caretaking it is regaining - if not its former brilliant grandeur - at least its dignity and relevance on the world stage.

Perhaps that's why Genoa is particularly poignant, and important for travelers who hope to leave Liguria with a greater understanding of the region - both what it was, and what it is becoming. It is impossible to leave Genoa unimpressed and without an opinion.

Genoa is - and has been for millennia - a port town, and the nature of a port is to facilitate trade via access to both sea and land routes. The geography of Liguria is characterized by mountains that plunge steeply into the sea, and that are criss-crossed by deep valleys. Genoa - which sits at the near middle of Liguria's great land crescent - is not only at the epicenter of what, from above, appears as one giant harbor. It is also at the crossroads of land routes that made use of these deep valleys to cut across the Apennines to northern Italy and the rest of Europe.

This guide is drawn from our Adventure Guide to the Italian Riviera, but with added pictures of the hotels, restaurants and other features.

The pedler, a small and yellow man of persistent ways, opens his box, and offers his stock of coral for inspection. You shake your head sternly, and hasten on into the Church of the Annunziata, while a foolish young father, with his hat on the back of his head, and an expansive-smile which seems to invite all the world to admire his first baby, -- a mite of humanity in the perambulator he is wheeling along, -- pauses, and consults his wife, already a sedate matron with the sweet placidity of a Madonna. The baby will need a coral necklace made of those irregularly shaped bits strung together and deemed suitable for juvenile wear. How can such a baby be expected to begin life without coral ? The interior of the Church of the Annunziata is the richest in Genoa in marble columns, painting, and gilding, although the faqade has been left unfinished. The sacred edifice was rebuilt in 1537, and decorated at the expense of the Lomellini family. Pausing beneath the golden dome of this temple, the history of the builders assumes a characteristic feature of the Sea City. The Genoese Republic granted them the right of the coral fisheries of the island of Tabarca in the gulf of Tunis for two hundred years. The origin of the race is traced to a count palatine, one of the electors of the empire, whose two brothers, Gandolfo and Otto by name, sought Italy, where they became great lords. Their descendants dwelt at Pavia, and held a property named Lomellina. Wars dispersed the gentlemen Lomellini, but they held ev...
