I continue with this sort of guided tour through the streets of Genoa, the city where I spent 20 years of my life, that is to say the end of my childhood and all my adolescence.

 

A city from which I am currently separated by more than 10,000 kms but which I will always keep in my heart.

 

In previous posts I told you about the Lanterna, the lighthouse, symbol of the city, about Boccadasse, the district on the sea with its multicoloured houses, about the Galata naval museum, the largest in the world, in a city whose origins were always seafaring, about the monumental Cathedral of San Lorenzo, located in the very heart of the city, nestled in the very heart of the historic centre, the largest and most densely populated in Europe, and the Doge's Palace, emblem of Genoese power at a time when a large part of Liguria was independent of the central power, forming an autonomously administered Republic.

Today I am going to share my impressions of Via Garibaldi and one of its emblematic buildings: the Rolli palace.

Genoa has a lot to offer: sea, mild climate, art and culture. A tour of the beauties to visit to discover it thoroughly and love it.

Genoa has a lot, if not everything. The sea, first of all. But also a strong identity, an urban development of its own, many faces and many worlds. Defined as “the superb” by Petrarch, who saw it as the lady of the sea leaning towards the waters, Zena (another nickname) has to offer a mild climate all year round, perfect for visiting and enjoying its architectural and artistic beauties. Between a focaccia dipped in cappuccino for breakfast and a plate of trofie with pesto, the 10 essential stops to get to know it in depth and fall in love with it.

The Doge's Palace is one of the most symbolic historical sites in the city of Genoa: residence of the Doge since 1339, today it is the main center of cultural production in the city. The most beautiful and important art exhibitions are exhibited here and festivals and festivals are held throughout the year. The construction of the Palace began in 1298, at a fortunate moment in the history of the Republic, the moment when Genoa was consolidating as an economic power in the Mediterranean Sea, displacing the other so-called maritime republics.
