Best Historic Locations in Genoa "Best Historic Locations in Genoa" Erstellt von : Cityseeker 16 Vorgemerkte Orte Piazza De Ferrari "City's Main Square" Located on the edges of the old city, this is historically the first large square to have been built in Genoa, in the period between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. For the citizens, it represents the real city center, where you meet to go shopping, to have a drink, to attend civic events, or to take a quick dip in the bronze fountain by Robertaderoberto to take the edge off the summer heat, or to celebrate sporting triumphs. Buildings which face onto the square include the Palazzo Ducale with its frescoed facade, the Teatro Carlo Felice, the Palazzo dell'Accademia, the Palazzo della Nuova Borsa and the Via XX Settembre, main artery of the city for both traffic and pedestrians, also leads off the square. +39 010 557 2903 (Tourist Information) Piazza De Ferrari, Genua Mura della città "The Longest City Wall in Europe" The original city centre, in the Castello area, was closed off by a circular wall in the 9th century. Substantial remains of this wall can be seen under Piazza Sarzano and in Via Tommaso Reggio, and in the Chiostro dei Canonici di S. Lorenzo. The second wall, dating back to 1155-61 is called "del Barbarossa" and was built to protect the city, which had grown by chensiyuan substantially since the construction of the earlier wall, from the threat of an invasion by the German Emperor. Some remains of this wall can be seen near the Carignano Bridge, as well as at the two gates which allowed entrance into the city, the Porta Soprana o di S. Andrea to the East (the road to Rome) and the Porta dei Vacca (or of S. Fede) to the West (towards France). The city expanded towards Carignano Hill, Castelletto Hill, and the Pré zone. Between 1320 and 1347 the new boundary wall was built, it was then developed and extended along the coast during the 16th century. These walls are largely preserved and are still visible near Piazza della Vittoria (in the background, behind the caravels), the Parco dell'Acquasola, and Corso M. Quadrio (the marina wall). The bulwark which defended the city from the sea dates back to the same period, as is the Porta Siberia (or del Molo). +39 010 868 7452 Via Tommaso Reggio, Genua Genoa Cathedral "Genoa's Iconic Cathedral" This church, dedicated to S. Lorenzo became the city's cathedral in the 5th-6th Century CE. The construction of the cathedral, which can be said to have lasted for centuries thanks to artists from Pisa, Lombardy and France, gave rise to an interesting mixture of styles, especially visible in the black and white facade. The inside is made up of three naves flanked by VillageHero by columns and reclaimed roman capitals, and owes its current appearance to the refurbishment carried out after the fire in 1296. The frescoes were done by L. Cambiaso and G.B. Castello il Bergamasco. The sober dome by G. Alessi and the presbytery are also from the same period. Everyone from Genoa knows the story of the bomb that sits at the beginning of the right hand nave. On February 9, 1941 it hit the cathedral destroying part of the casing, but remaining miraculously unexploded. +39 010 557 2903 (Tourist www.visitgenoa.it/en/cath [email protected] Piazza San Lorenzo, Genua Information) edral-san-lorenzo Maria di Castello "Dominican Church" Maria di Castello was first built around 650 AD in the early fortified area of the city. It was rebuilt by Pre Lamica masters at the beginning of the 12th century. Since 1441, when it was taken over by the Dominican fathers, it has undergone regular redecoration. The Predicatori brothers made the complex into one of the most important centers of humanist by Davide Papalini thought. The church has three naves lined with granite columns with reused Roman headbands. It has valuable vaults, decorated with 15th- century decorations which replace the original medieval trusses. It has numerous frescoes, paintings, altarpieces, sculptures and wooden groups. There are noteworthy canvasses by D.Piola, B.Castello, A.Lomi; a venerable medieval, wooden Christ figure and the remains of the holy Jacopo da Varagine (Varazze), who was the author of the Golden Legend. The marble entrance of the Sacristy was built in 1452. This graceful room has been made even more precious by the 18th-century walnut furnishings. The museum area in the convent is reached from here. +39 010 25 4951 www.diocesi.genova.it/documenti.p Salita Di Santa Maria Di Castello 15, hp?idd=203&parrocchia=138 - 26k - Genua Centro Storico "Through Genoa's Historical Center" If you are holidaying in Genoa, you must include Centro Storico as the main attraction of the city. This old port town is dotted with brilliant historical monuments and attractions preserved with mysteries of the past. To get the feel of a time conserved within these walls you must explore the alleys and squares, shops, museums and palaces. You can go by chensiyuan on a walking tour or take a bike ride or an open-top bus trip as the secrets unravel before your eyes. There are many routes, including Via Garibaldi or Strada Nuovo, the oldest street of the town, which is the center of the appeal with marvelous residential buildings. +39 010 557 2903 (Tourist www.visitgenoa.it/it/centro-storico Via Garibaldi, Genua Information) Area del Porto Antico "Historic Port With Never-ending Attractions" The layout of the whole area and the various architectural constructions in the Old Port, have now become a perfect example of the coexistence of old buildings and modern edifices. The salvaging and refurbishment of the historic port and of the old town center nearby, have all helped in the re- establishment of the tourist trade within the city. The new "marinaro" area by 9843405 is constantly brought to life through sound, light and color and has various attractions dedicated to free time and culture. Therefore, Genoa is no longer solely a city of art, but also a seaside town offering fun and relaxation. A must is a trip on the Bigo, the rotating panoramic lift which offers a view over the entire city. +39 010 248 5711 www.portoantico.it/ Porto Antico, Genua Via Giuseppe Garibaldi "A Walk Through History" Designed by Bernadino Cantone in the 1550s, Via Garibaldi is one of Genoa's most picturesque avenues, and has been used model for subsequent expansions throughout the city. The street spans the distance been Piazza Fontane Marose and Piazza della Meridiana, lined with palazzi built between the 16th and 18th Centuries for some of the city's by Pimlico27 most wealthy families. In true Genoese style, the palazzi are all richly decorated within, and face onto leafy courtyards, enhanced by lily ponds, frescoed walls and terraces. Several of these are now public buildings that are open to visitors, while others have been preserved as museums. Via Garibaldi is also renowned for its many restaurants, gelaterias and bookstores. +39 010 557 2903 (Tourist www.visitgenoa.it/en/stra [email protected] Via Garibaldi, Genua Information) da%20nuova Via Balbi "A Road for a Family" Conceived at the beginning of the seventeenth century as an imitation of the Strada Nuova (Via Garibaldi), this road was in fact built for a single family, the Balbi, who owned the entire area. The Balbi decided to create their "district" here, having increased their fortunes dramatically after the beginning of the silk trade, due to a sequence of entrepreneurial activity by chensiyuan abroad (in Anversa and Spain), after having arranged several marriages of convenience with other rising families. To achieve this, they commissioned the architect Bartolomeo Bianco to build several of their sumptuous palaces, as well as to design the streets named by them. In an urban regeneration which took most of the seventeenth century, several residences were constructed: the Palazzo di Gio Francesco Balbi, that of Giacomo and Pantaleo Balbi, today the Palazzo Balbi Senarega of the University of Genoa, the Palazzo of Francesco Maria Balbi, that of Stefano Balbi, later Durazzo, which today houses the Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Reale and the Falcone Theatre, the Palazzo of Gio Agostino Balbi now named Cattaneo Adorno, the church of Saints Jerome and Frances Saverio and the Jesuit College, today the Palazzo dell'Università and university library, and finally St Charles' church. +39 010 868 7452 Via Balbi, Genua Commenda di Pré "An Old Refuge for Crusaders and Pilgrims" This building was founded around 1000AD as a hospital, or as a refuge for the crusaders who had been sent to the Holy land. Afterwards, it became a shelter for pilgrims going to Jerusalem or Santiago di Compostela. It is attached to the neighbouring Church of Giovanni di Pre'". The three level open gallery gives the building its character. The "Commenda" has kept by Davide Papalini some of its medieval features. There are spherocubical headbands on the ground floor. On the middle floor there is 15th century wooden flooring which is decorated with prints. On the third floor there are wonderful frescoes with battle insignia and coats of arms from the nobility, as well as the part of the building which belonged to the apartment of the Knight commander. It's interesting to note that up until 1731 people could only go into the two churches of S.Giovanni through the Commenda. This was administered by the Jerusalemite Knights (and from 1420 by the Knights of the Order of Malta).

  • 93 Fari Dismessi. Dall'abbandono Alla
    Annali del Turismo, V, 2016, n.1 Edizioni Geoprogress FARI DISMESSI. DALL’ABBANDONO ALLA RIGENERAZIONE Antonietta Ivona Abstract Lighthouses decommissioned. From abandonment to regeneration. - The Italian legislation on cultural heritage introduced, a few years ago, the concept of enhancement and enjoyment of cultural heritage through the outsourcing of cultural assistance and hospitality services for the public. Particularly, the national Project "Valore Paese" of the Agenzia del Demanio is dedicated to lighthouses and it intends to encourage the promotion of the Italian public real estate through the synergy between the sectors of tourism, art and culture, economic and territorial cohesion. In this sense, the recovery of public assets owned by the State and local authorities has the possibility to be considered not only in terms of cost to the community, but also as a significant lever for territorial and social development, in a logic of public- private partnership. 1. I fari nel tempo Opere di ingegneria umana, ammantate di miti e leggende, i fari sono parte della storia della navigazione. Dai bagliori dei primi fuochi accesi sulle torri di avvistamento fino ai recenti dibattiti sul futuro della rete dei fari, essi hanno da sempre rappresentato anche luoghi identitari. I primi fari che la storia conosce non erano altro che falò di legna accatastata situati nei luoghi più pericolosi per segnalare la rotta ai naviganti. “I primi fuochi, che dovevano restare accesi tutta la notte, richiedevano continua cura: occorreva combustibile, sapienza tecnica, presenza costante dell’uomo” (Mariotti, 2013, p. 10). Con l’evolversi della navigazione commerciale, occorse sostituire i falò con strumenti di segnalazione più sicuri e, quindi, più potenti da ubicare nei porti lungo le nuove rotte commerciali.

This charming city, known as “La Superba” (the Proud One), boasts centuries of histories and once was an independent State from (1005 to 1797), with its own empire. Here you can find the largest medieval historical centre in Europe, an intricate maze of alleys where its multicultural soul and the contrasts of the city are most evident than anywhere else. As Charles Dickens remarked “it abounds in the strangest contrasts; things that are picturesque, ugly, mean, magnificent, delightful and offensive, break upon the view at every turn – there seems to be always something to find out”.

At its tenth meeting, the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity requested the Executive Secretary to work with Parties and other Governments as well as competent organizations and regional initiatives, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), regional seas conventions and action plans, and, where appropriate, regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) to organize, including the setting of terms of reference, a series of regional workshops, with a primary objective to facilitate the description of ecologically or biologically significant marine areas through the application of scientific criteria in annex I of decision IX/20 as well as other relevant compatible and complementary nationally and intergovernmentally agreed scientific criteria, as well as the scientific guidance on the identification of marine areas beyond national jurisdiction, which meet the scientific criteria in annex I to decision IX/20 (paragraph 36 of decision X/29). 2. In the same decision, the Conference of the Parties requested that the Executive Secretary make available the scientific and technical data, and information and results collated through the workshops referred to above to participating Parties, other Governments, intergovernmental agencies and the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA) for their use according to their competencies.
