Genoa is one of the most beautiful towns in Italy, but certainly one of the most underestimated.
It’s not easy to “fall in love with Genoa” at first sight, one of the largest historical centers in Europe sometimes confuses and disorient the visitor. On purpose, we rely on local guides only who are able to introduce you to the secret beauties and flavors of Genoa, so-called “The Superb” included in the UNESCO patrimony since 2003.
Nothing better than the food helps to know more about a place and the people who live there.
Genoa was built by the ancient Romans and throughout the 1100 and 1500 A.C. lived its golden age as one of the Italian Maritime Republics together with Amalfi, Pisa and Venice.
The putting up of profitable trades, allowed Genoa to increase its importance and wealth throughout the centuries. The frequent contacts with other cultures made Genoa a lively town where different cultures and traditions melted together creating in the local cuisine unique flavors such as: farinata, focaccia, pesto sauce, pandolce and much more!
