The guide pro- vides information on the city’s points of interest, paying parti- cular attention to the accessibility of museums and tourist attractions, keeping people with special needs in mind. At the same time, it has evaluated interventions designed to disman- tle architectural barriers that will improve the liveability and accessibility of the city. After the success of the first edition, a second edition has been produced. The title “Genoa for all of us”, still holds significant political and cultural importance. This work is not merely an occasional tool aimed at helping a specific tourist target, but proposes a mode of regarding the city as an assigned space, to guarantee the same opportunities of accessibility for all. This concerns itself with the wider process of the city’s growth, which this guide aims to lend to its communicative capacity, information and cultural testimony. Dedicating two large parts of this guide to “Genoese Lifestyle” and “Great Genoese” illustrates both the honour and pleasure to communicate something of the vibrancy and rich culture of our city. One characteristic of Genoa is, as Maurizio Maggiani articulated so well, that it does not catch tourists with artificial hospitality and welcoming, but simply wins them with her modest and unique fascination, her captivating history and her sparkling lights. 6 WHY GENOA? by Maurizio Maggiani Genoa invites nobody; Genoa gets undressed for nobody, screams to nobody and uses no perfumes at all since Genoa is a dour, disenchanted capital. But, Genoa has never rejected any- body among those who shored on its Ripa, and they were, and still they will be, a multitude of people from so many countries. Genoa is a great harbour welcoming anyone who has something to show, to say, to take and to hear, were it just a new word or a hidden slash of light. Were this the unique reason, Genoa would be worth a visit because there you are considered a human being, coming from somewhere else, looking for something and with something to offer: and this will be enough, with no need of the false hospitality lies of the reception halls. And then, there is Genoa that yields to nobody but lets people contemplate and even touch it. The city where life means utmost complications, where horizons are wider than the shar- pest look; the city where the light shines like nowhere else in the world, where shadows cannot be fathomed. Genoa: the indomitable beauty, the melting pot of styles, the place where streets get lost intentionally, where wonders appear, no matter why. Genoa, that you can never completely understand, that you will never admire enough, never live in its entirety. Genoa, the astonishment that bores nobody ‘cause it ends not.. 7 HOW TO READ THE GUIDE This guide introduces you to Genoa from three points of view. The itineraries: three easy routes around accessible Genoa in order to discover the monumental and landscape legacy of the city without nasty encounters (architectural barriers). Genoese Lifestyle: see the city through the eyes of those who live it everyday. See the streets where the Genoese go for a walk, go shopping or meet in the evening. The Great Genoese: retrace the routes of great historical personalities whi- ch were born and lived in Genoa; follow the footsteps of seafarers, poets and singers through the old alleys and in the shade of impressive architecture. Accessibility profiles: specially provided profiles inform you about the accessibility of tourist facilities and provide detailed information, retaining the guide’s appeal and clarity.. (n°) is the page number where you can find information about the accessibility of the mentioned structure (www) informs that detailed information on a structure’s accessibility is available on www.terredimare.it Means of transport and services: accessibility of train stations, reserved parking and equipped buses: this section provides accu- rate information to arrange your arrival and stay in Genoa. 8 THE ITINERARIES Guided by Donata Bonometti For various days I lived in true ecstasy. Incapable of following a pre-arranged plan to visit the masterworks of the city, I abandoned these for the joy of this new environment in a manner that you could call musical. I have never seen anything like this Genoa! Richard Wagner I percorsi A NOTE ON THE GUIDE’S ITINERARIES Genoa is one of the most vertical cities in the world, sloping down towards the sea from the Apennine Mountains, which run along thirty-four kilometers of coastline. The narrow stretch of land that is suited for building and the diffused interventions of restructuring the area have given life to this typical urban design that has always been the charm of the city. The recent interventions of upgrading the city’s pedestrian are- as and tourist structures has made it possible to create different accessible itinerary for wheelchair users who wish to visit the principal monumental riches and walks of the city. The three journeys described in this guide cross each others’ ways more than once and can be seen as one single excursion. A) From Principe to De Ferrari B) The Aquarium and the Porto Antico C) The Old Town At the beginning of each journey, an outline of the route indi- cates the streets to be crossed, means of transport used and the museums that are included in the tour. At the end of the guide, a map of the city helps tourists find their way around with a wide overview of Genoa. (n°) indicates the number of the page, on which information on accessibility of the mentioned structures can be found, or anoth- er page, which provides further information on the subject. The development of the itineraries has been contributed to by the PEBA (Project for the Elimination of Architectural Barriers), carried out in 2005 by La Cruna on account of the Department for Equal

  • The Apogee of the Hispano-Genoese Bond, 1576-1627
    Hispania, LXV/1, num. 219 (2005) THE APOGEE OF THE HISPANO-GENOESE BOND, 1576-1627 por THOMAS KIRK New York University in Florence (Italy) RESUMEN: El periodo entre 1576 y 1627 se caracteriza por ser un momento de intensa coopera­ ción entre España y la república de Genova. Iniciado con una guerra civil en Genova simultánea a una suspensión de pagos en Madrid, concluye con el estallido de un con­ flicto bélico en el norte de Italia y con una nueva bancarrota. Los dramáticos aconteci­ mientos con los que se inicia nuestro periodo de estudio facilitaron la estabilidad inter­ na de la república y sirvieron para fortalecer los vínculos con España. El mecanismo de simbiosis —-dependencia española de la capacidad financiera de Genova y dependencia de la república de la protección de la Corona— no impidió momentos de tensión entre ambos aliados. Aun así, los fuertes intereses comunes, sin mencionar la superioridad militar española y el carácter asimétrico de la relación, explican que dichas tensiones se manifestaran en una dimensión simbólica. Sin embargo, es evidente que esta relación no podía durar siempre, por lo que en el momento culminante de la presencia del capital genovés en España y de dependencia de la protección militar de la corona, se produce una ruptura del equilibrio que madurará algunas décadas después. PALABRAS CLAVE: Genova. Monarquía Hispánica. Sistema financiero. Galeras. Revuelta de 1575. ABSTRACT: The half century between 1576 and 1627 witnessed the most intense relations between the Republic of Genoa and Spain. This period, clearly demarcated at both its beginning and ending points, was ushered in by a brief war in Genoa accompanied by royal insolvency in Spain, and brought to a close by fighting in northern Italy and another quiebra in Spain.

  • The History of Painting in Italy, Vol. V
    The History Of Painting In Italy, Vol. V By Luigi Antonio Lanzi HISTORY OF PAINTING IN UPPER ITALY. BOOK III. BOLOGNESE SCHOOL. During the progress of the present work, it has been observed that the fame of the art, in common with that of letters and of arms, has been transferred from place to place; and that wherever it fixed its seat, its influence tended to the perfection of some branch of painting, which by preceding artists had been less studied, or less understood. Towards the close of the sixteenth century, indeed, there seemed not to be left in nature, any kind of beauty, in its outward forms or aspect, that had not been admired and represented by some great master; insomuch that the artist, however ambitious, was compelled, as an imitator of nature, to become, likewise, an imitator of the best masters; while the discovery of new styles depended upon a more or less skilful combination of the old. Thus the sole career that remained open for the display of human genius was that of imitation; as it appeared impossible to design figures more masterly than those of Bonarruoti or Da Vinci, to express them with more grace than Raffaello, with more animated colours than those of Titian, with more lively motions than those of Tintoretto, or to give them a richer drapery and ornaments than Paul Veronese; to present them to the eye at every degree of distance, and in perspective, with more art, more fulness, and more enchanting power than fell to the genius of Coreggio. Accordingly the path of imitation was at that time pursued by every school, though with very little method.
