Genoa cradled between land and sea, living and working in the port, breathing its past in her palaces, passionately fond of the terraced hills that embrace the city, Genoa has many different faces. A modern metropolis and a severe custodian of artistic heritage, an industrious marketplace that also has century-old parks to relax in.Genoa hides her riches in an historical centre that looks traditionally seaward yet at the same time exhibits a new beauty achieved by restoring the splendour of ages past. Youthfulness springs from the new urban fabric that has restored works of arts and architecture. 17.00 hrs. Ship sails.

Genoa
History of Genoa:
After 1000s the Republic of Genova became a great naval power and one of the main ports of the Mediterranean, with commercial relations from the Atlantic Ocean as far as China. In 1528 the alliance between the leader Andrea Doria and Spain started the so-called Golden Century of Genova, a flourishing of Genoese finance all over Europe with the constructions, in the city and in the suburbs, of splendid palaces and villas.
In the first Italian industry development Genova had a main role as maritime and industrial pole: the city became a vertex of the industrial triangle, with Milan and Turin, but after the '60s there was the crisis of the great industry.
At the start of the new Millennium, Genova is developing as a port and a tourism and cultural city, oriented towards facilities, but preserving an economy which together with the shipping character has still a strong technical element. Genova is in the 2004 European Capital of Culture. This event can be taken as a symbol of the present Genova’ s renaissance.
