It’s easier than you think to leave a the autumn fog behind and stretch out on the beach to enjoy the October sun or to forget the winter chilliness and stroll along the sea-front promenades of the Mount Beigua Riviera to be embraced by a northerly breeze, fi lling your lungs with fresh iodine.

7 ARENZANO

INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE The adulation of Infant Jesus originates in one of Europe’s most fascinating capitals and since 1908 the sanctuary on the hills of Arenzano is its main point of reference. Today, the sanctuary of Aren- zano is the most universal and dynamic centre for the devotion to Infant Jesus of Prague, who is also worshipped in many countries around the world. The interior of the sanctuary is embellished with various interesting sculptures: the adjacent areas contain a missionary exhibition of the Carmelites plus a very colourful – and finely scented – artistic nativity scene made with the ceramics of Albi- sola, on display in an artificial grotto. The sanctuary also has a nursery of Asian and African plants with nearly one million specimens.

It’s a living museum because visitors are encouraged to touch buttons and objects, to answer questions, and to “mess around” in chemical laboratories.

VILLA NEGROTTO CAMBIASO One of the great residences where Genoese aristo- crats spent their leisure time is the villa that Marquis Tobia Pallavicino built in the late 16th century in the centre of Arenzano. Its renovation in 1880 included the addition of an English-style park that today is open to the public, while the villa has become the site of Arenzano’s Town Hall. The enormous Liberty- style iron and glass greenhouse, designed by Lam- berto Cusani, is located in the centre of the park.

9 ARENZANO AND COGOLETO WHAT GREEN WILL WE PLAY TODAY?

THAT’S “PAR” FOR THE COURSE… eorge Bernard Shaw said, “you don’t Ghave to be an idiot to play golf, but it helps”. But then again, he had a very sharp tongue. In reality, golf is a fantastic sport that can be played by anyone and is anything but elite. A healthy sport where you can walk and fill your lungs with fresh air surrounded by trees and lush greenery. A silent sport that’s also a little bit romantic, and ideal for getting away from the hectic city life so “in” among young people. A sport that you can play year around only in Liguria: whoever comes to Arenzano should know that here, in the Pine forest, there’s an excellent 9-hole course. Give it a go. It’s worth it. 9 OR 18 HOLES? olf lovers needn’t be restricted to the G9 hole course in the Arenzano Pineta. At only 4 kilometres from the Arenzano green, in the Lerca valley, is the Sant’Anna Golf Club, 100 hectares of splendid hilly countryside which is home to an 18 hole course, a village inspired by ligurian tradi- tions, outdoor pools, orchards and nature walks. A high-level “Golf Centre” that lets you get in touch with nature and is close to the sea and the major routes to Northern and Europe.

NOT JUST THE SEA ther interesting sites include the parish Ochurch of St. Mary and the fourteenth- century oratory of St. Lawrence, where the painting of the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence by G.B. Carlone is on display. The historic centre has maintained all the features of a typical Ligurian village with its painted facades, arches and well preserved and renovated portals: take a relaxing stroll among the small shops with colourful signs and little restaurants, and all in a seaside atmosphere that’s lively all year round. 12 13 BEIGUA PARK A PARK BY THE SEA

THE HOLY MOUNTAIN he prehistoric Ligurians chose Mt. Beigua Tas their special mountain for worshiping their God. At an unpretentious altitude of 1300 metres, Beigua is still quite majestic, with its landscape of rocks and forests so similar to an Alpine peak. The view from its crests buffeted by northerly winds ranges from the Riviera and Genoa to the , Mt. Rosa and the Adamello, as well as to Corsica and Elba Island. And then, when a begins to swirl, the fog appears and turns the world grey and silent. The maze of forests, , valleys, farm- steads and trails between Mt. Beigua and the peaks of Rama, Argentea and Reixa, an enormous reservoir of pristine nature embracing the coast and the hinterland, is protected and safeguarded by the Beigua Park Service (that also offers guided tours). THE ENGINEER’S TRAIL he Inzegnè (or Engineer’s) trail is just one Tof the 60 trails running up and down the valleys, woods and meadows of the massif of Mt. Beigua and its neighbouring mountains. Many of these trails start from sea level, guiding hikers easily along steep and spec- tacular hairpin turns to the more than one thousand metre high crests.

EXCURSION ITINERARIES ith the sea and the Riviera on one W side, and the hills fleeing toward the Po Valley on the other, there’s no doubt that the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri is the main itinerary running through the massif of Mt. Beigua. No matter where you look, there’s an incomparable panorama, surrounded by nature and the silence of Liguria’s hin- terland; an arc of mountains caught in between two blues: the sea and the sky. But these mountains offer more than just hiking trails: there’s the , the ideal paraglide jumping point, the Lookout Towers of Sciarborasca and Martin Peak for climbing, the Faiallo road for bike rides and
