Genoa at a Glance

The capital of Liguria, “Genova la Superba” (Genoa the
Proud) has enjoyed a dominant role in the region, both
commercially and politically, for centuries. It is a fascinating
city in a specta cular site and with many important monu­
ments. First built by the sea, around the basin of the Porto
Antico (the old port), the city could then only expand
upwards. A labyrinth of medieval carruggi, Liguria’s
distinctive narrow alleys, was created up the steep hills
behind the port, followed by new streets laid out in the
16th and 17th centuries, lined with grand palazzi built for
Genoa’s merchant families. The 19th­ century and modern Palazzo Reale (see p81), built in
the 17th century, belonged to
quarters of the city climb steeply again, adapting to the the Balbi family, to the Durazzos

Palazzo Doria Pamphilj (see pp82–3) was the
private residence of the great 16th-century
admiral and politician, Andrea Doria. It still has
apartments decorated for him, and paintings
he commissioned from artists such as Perin
del Vaga and Sebastiano del Piombo.

1 San Lorenzo

The church of San Lorenzo (St Lawrence) was founded in the 9th century
and was chosen as the cathedral because of its secure position within the
city walls. Romanesque-style reconstruction began in the 12th century but
was never completed. The cathedral’s present, primarily Gothic appearance,
including the lower part of the cheerfully striped façade, dates from the
13th century. Important alterations followed later, however, mainly in the
15th to 17th centuries: these include the rose window in the upper part of
the façade, the Renaissance cupola by Galeazzo Alessi and the beautifully
frescoed Lercari chapel. The symbol of St Lawrence (Genoa’s patron saint,
along with St John the Baptist) is the purse, a fact that prompts much
teasing of the Genoese, who are famous for being frugal with money.


. Sculptures at Main Entrance
Sculptures on medieval church
doors introduced the faithful
to important doctrinal
subjects. Here, fine
Romanesque bas-
reliefs illustrate Stories
from the life of Mary
and the Tree of Jesse,
on the jambs; and
Christ blessing, the
symbols of the
Evangelists and
the Martyrdom
of San Lorenzo,
in the lunette.

This chapel, dedicated to St John the Baptist,

(mid-1400s). It is richly decorated with marble
and topped with flamboyant Gothic detailing.
Reliefs on the front of the chapel illustrate
the life of the Baptist. Inside, are six wall

Genoa. Within this charming framework, picked out by spotlights, are
displayed objects brought back during the Republic’s forays into the

t Porto Antico

The old port was the obvious venue for the staging of the
Columbus celebrations of 1992, and these provided a perfect
opportunity to restore the link between the port, which with
the Centro Storico, was for centuries detached from the rest
of the city. This project was undertaken by local architect
Renzo Piano, who also transformed the district into an
attraction in its own right. He did this by restoring disused Porta del Molo

now a multiplex cinema and exhibition centre – and by this gate was built in 1553 by
Galeazzo Alessi. It was designed as

. Il Bigo
Inspired by the masts of a ship
and designed by Renzo Piano,
Il Bigo features a revolving

of 40 m (130 ft), this offers great
views over the port and city.

2 Boat trips are the only way to
reach certain areas otherwise closed

Antico, boats offer guided tours
lasting around 45 minutes. The
bustle and activity of the port are

Another work by Renzo Piano, the
Aquarium is the largest of its kind in

La Lanterna
This is the symbol of Genoa, and the
oldest working lighthouse in the world.
The original lighthouse, dating from the
12th century, was destroyed by Louis
XIII’s French army. It was rebuilt in its
current form, with two superimposed
towers, in 1543, and its beam has a
reach of 52 km (33 miles). There is a
superb view from the top, for those
who can bear the 375 steps. In 2006,
the Museo della Lanterna opened in

y The Aquarium (Acquario)

The work of internationally renowned architect Renzo Piano
(co-designer of the Pompidou Centre in Paris), with technical
help from American architect Peter Chermayeff, the Aquarium
is built within a ship anchored in the port. It is one of Europe’s
largest aquariums, with numerous tanks that are viewable
from underwater as well as from above. The aim is to help
visitors to discover and marvel at different aspects of the
sea and to promote understanding of the extent to which
human life is linked to the oceans. There are spectacular
reconstructions of diverse ecosystems on the planet,
making it possible to observe animals, habitats and
ocean floors at close quarters.


. Hummingbird Forest
This area re-creates the
luxuriant rainforest habitat of the
smallest birds in the world. The
hummingbird’s signature features
are its iridescent feathers, long bill
and powerful wing-speed.

Street-by-Street: Around Via Garibaldi

When Via Garibaldi was laid out in the mid-16th century,
it was the first of the “new streets”, and was known as La
Strada Nuova. The mansions lining the street are wonderfully
preserved, with sumptuous interiors, and often contain
exceptional decoration or fine art collections – the fruits of
shrewd collecting. Among the palazzi open to the public are
Palazzo Doria-Tursi (the largest in the street), which still serves
as the town hall, and Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Rosso, which
house the Musei di Strada Nuova, the city’s largest art gallery.
Not far away is the first cathedral of Genoa, and the church of
San Siro – richly decorated in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Beyond Piazza Fontane Marose, Santissima Annunziata del

Genoa’s ancient cathedral probably dates V I A S A L V A G H I
from the 4th century. There are no traces
of its origins, however, due to a fire that
destroyed it in the late 16th century. The
reconstruction was undertaken by the
Theatine Order (see p80), which turned it
into a temple, resplendent with marble
inlay and frescoes.

The gallery in this house displays 13th–

Andrea Doria
This portrait of Andrea Doria (1466–1560), painted by Bronzino after
1540, and now in Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, is fitting: posing, despite
his advanced years, in a heroic attitude, semi-nude, as the god of
the sea, Neptune. Two fundamental themes in his life are concentrated
in this work: the sea and the arts. A member of one of the most
powerful families in Genoa, he did not, however, have an easy life.
He made a successful career through warfare: initially serving the
pope, then the king of France and, finally, emperor Charles V. A
soldier and admiral of huge talent, he was one of the few to defeat
feared pirates operating in the Mediterranean, to such an extent that
he gained the deep respect of the Genoese, who declared him lord
of the city in 1528. From this position of power he established an
aristocratic constitution which lasted until 1798. He spent many
years in his palazzo, which was built with the help of some of the

3 Parco Durazzo Pallavicini

The man responsible for transforming the gardens of the Villa
Durazzo Pallavicini was Michele Canzio, set designer at Genoa’s
Teatro Carlo Felice (see p59). Between 1837 and 1846 he created
a splendid English-style garden, following the romantic fashion of
the time. He was commissioned by Marchese Ignazio Alessandro
Pallavicini, who inherited the villa from his aunt Clelia Pallavicini
Durazzo. She was passionate about plants and had begun a botanic
garden here in the late 18th century. Today, more than 100 varieties
of exotic species, including tropical carnivorous plants, are grown
here. The park covers around 11 ha (27 acres).

The Nativity Scene Tradition
The spread of the cult of the nativity scene (presepe)
may date back to the Jesuits, who were particularly
active in Genoa in the first half of the 17th century.
Although the tradition was not as strong here as it was
in Naples, it was nonetheless very popular. During the
17th and 18th centuries, aristocratic houses assembled
presepi but kept them in private family chapels. The
scenes were eventually made public, and bourgeois
families of the late 19th century and early 20th century
became accustomed to making special visits to the
Nativity scene at the Santuario della Madonnetta presepi at Christmas. Today, it is possible to follow the
19th-century custom all year round. Several churches
still display nativity scenes, including the Madonnetta and Oregina sanctuaries. Typical figures, usually
carved from wood, sometimes made of coloured wax or plaster, include those of a young, smiling peasant
girl, an old peasant woman with a grotesque expression, and a lame beggar (lo zoppo) – the latter became
a famous symbol of poverty and need.
