| Genoa (Genova in
Italian - Zena in Genoese) is a city and a seaport in northern Italy, the
capital of the Province of Genoa and of the region of Liguria. The city
has a population of ca. 620,000 and the urban area has a population of
ca. 890,000. Genua was a city of the ancient Ligurians. Its name is probably
Ligurian, meaning "knee" (from Proto-Indo-European *genu 'knee'), i.e.
"angle", from its geographical position, thus akin to the name of Geneva. |
| Main sights - Genoa
is one of the oldest cities of art in Italy. Its main features include
the Piazza de Ferrari where the Opera and the Palace of the Dogeslikes
are. There is also a house where Christopher Columbus is believed to have
been born. One part of the old city, the Strada Nuova or the Via
Garibaldi, was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2006. This district
was designed in the mid-16th century to accommodate Mannerist palaces of
the city's most eminent families, including Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco,
Palazzo Grimaldi and Palazzo Reale. The famous art college, Musei di Strada
Nuova and the Palazzo del Principe are also located on this street.
Other landmarks of the city include St. Lawrence Cathedral (Cattedrale
di San Lorenzo), the Old Harbor (Porto Antico), transformed into a mall
by architect Renzo Piano, and the famous cemetery of Staglieno, renowned
for its monuments and statues. The Museo d'Arte Orientale has one of the
largest collections of Oriental art in Europe. Other than the old
city sights, Genoa also has the second largest aquarium in the world which
is located in the above-mentioned old harbor. The port of Genoa also contains
an ancient lighthouse, called La Lanterna (i.e., "the lantern"). It is
the oldest working lighthouse in the world, one of the five tallest ones,
and the tallest brick one and it is Genoa's landmark. One of the
most beautiful and pictoresque genoese neighbourhood is Boccadasse on the
east of the city. |

Riviera Hotel Reservations |
|
| The Italian Rivera
(Italian Riviera ligure) is the narrow coastal strip which lies between
the Ligurian Sea and the mountain chain formed by the Maritime Alps and
the Apennines. Longitudinally it extends from the border with France and
the French Riviera (or Côte d'Azur) near Ventimiglia (a former customs
post) to Capo Corvo (also known as Punta Bianca) which marks the the eastern
end of the Gulf of La Spezia and is close to the border with Tuscany. The
Italian Riviera thus includes nearly all of the coastline of Liguria. (Historically
it extended further to the west, through what is now French territory as
far as Monaco.) |
| The Riveira is centred on
the port of Genoa, which divides it into two main
sections: the Riviera di Ponente, extending westwards from Genoa to the
French border; and the Riviera di Levante between Genoa and Capo Corva.
It is famous for its particularly mild climate which, together with the
charm of its old fishing ports and the beauty of its landscape, has made
it a popular destination for travellers and tourists since the time of
Byron and Shelley. Many villages and towns in the area are internationally
known, such as Portofino, Bordighera, Lerici, and the Cinque Terre.
The part of the Riviera di Ponente centered on Savona, is called the "Riviera
delle Palme" (the Riviera of palms); the part centered on Sanremo, is called
the "Riviera dei Fiori", after the long-established flower growing industry. |
