Liguria Region Of Italy - Italian Movie Trips

Cities With The Liguria Region Of Italy:

Genoa Italy:

This busy port town, with its narrow and seedy medieval streets opening into broad, pedestrian-only piazzas ringed with palaces, was the home of Christopher Columbus and has drifters from the world over. Recently refurbished as one of the Cultural Capitals of Europe, 2004, Genoa has the second biggest aquarium in the world and easily the busiest and best regulated passeggiata in Italy, where the streets grow thicker with slow-moving people than Manhattan at mid-day and abruptly empty into private parties at the appointed hour. Don't miss the artistic excesses in the palaces of Andrea Doria and others and the large frescoes depicting the life of Columbus.
