Genova | The Italian Adventure 

Thanks for the comment! Glad you had a good time ☺️

@@itssomethingaboutdavid Guess you want us to feel as though we're "walking briskly" yes? Got a shortage of mandolins and outdoor patio dining ? As Adriano Fontana to make a track for you.Did it for me. Whenever we Google "GenoVa" all we are offered is " Genoa"..so thanks for getting that right !

Da italiano ti consiglio di visitare lo stadio della squadra di calcio di Genova ovvero il genoa🔴🔵

​@@grifone_1893 ti piace?

That is such a kind message, thank you so much for watching! It is absolutely a stunning city.

Thank you so much for your amazing comment I really appreciate it. Your city is such an incredible place!

I’m Italian, living in Berlin and Turin. Genova is MORE than underrated, because I’d say it’s one of the most beautiful city in Italy - certainly in the group of the top 5 (and there the competition is tough:) Genova has a beauty that moves you. And for my German girlfriend it’s the MOST beautiful Italian city! And probably I should agree! Ahh..Genova: if only 90% of the jobs there were not only harbour and tourists related!

Si potesse abbattere la sopraelevata!

@@fernweh3726 sarebbe meraviglioso

@@fernweh3726 Pare che molti anni fa abbiano interpellato un urbanista di fama il quale dopo aver esaminato la situazione disse "scordatevelo". A Genova c'è pochissimo spazio e in più quella - maledetta - sopraelevata è lo snodo di vie importanti.. Certo il giorno che hanno dato il permesso di costruirla proprio lì dovevano essere giorni in cui il concetto di salvaguardia del territorio - o del bello - doveva essere sconosciuto.. Ci sono spassato spesso con dei tedeschi amici miei che infatti mi hanno sempre detto "ok ma proprio lì?" Invochiamo Renzo Piano che ama Genova!

Fair enough :) - if you watched it i hope you enjoyed!

Thank you so much Robert! Stay tuned for my next videos - good stuff on the way 🙃

@@itssomethingaboutdavid ……tolles video alte schöne Stadt. Bin überrascht, ich kenne Genova nur von Milano mit dem Auto kommend, Autostrada Brücken über den Hâusern, eng, vor bei an verrosteten Schiffen, öltankern, Kränen, in Richtung France. Was ich da sah gefiel mir nicht, deshalb freu ivh mich über Dein schönes Video

Thank you so so much for all the recommendations! I absolutely loved Genoa so I will definitely return in the future. Saved your recommendations for when I do! Thanks for watching!

Compared to other cities such as Rome, Naples, Venice or Florence, the city of Genoa for tourists comes soo much later. - I find ridiculous to suggest tourists who come to Genoa to visit the suburbs of Genoa. Nostra Signora del Monte Gazzo, seriously ? Other cities, have much more glamorous and easier to go sanctuaries than that. There is no reason to invite someone to see a park in Sestri Ponente located about 30 minutes from the center when in 10 min one can go to the free park and promenade in Nervi ( you mentioned it. ). Maybe since he already was in the city center and "caruggi" he could have shown a few sex workers. Not only they have been there for hundred of years, but it would have certainly gotten more views to an already well done video. In his other videos he totally skipped Portofino ( if one does not own a mansion or a yacht there is little to nothing to do for regular folks ) and showed 5 terre which is much more interesting for the vast majority of visitors. In my modest opinion he is definitely on the right track. No need to come back to Genoa, he totally nailed it the first time.

@@singleman805 No, Genoa and its Riviera have always been a tourist destination, indeed they appear in "The Voyage of Italy" by Richard Lassels (1670), the text that first introduce the "Grand Tour" in Europe. Lassels himself at the time wrote in the book that he appreciated the landscape made up of suburbs, villas and little settlements from Savona to Genoa, more than the city itself. Over the decades, the type of tourism specialized in seaside tourism (but very different from today's mass seaside tourism). There were problems starting from the end of the nineteenth century, when heavy industry (shipyards, foundries, later petrochemical industry) expanded to the west of the city center, going to occupy the beaches: the result was that this type of tourism moved more to the Riviera di Levante (Rapallo, Santa Margherita, Sestri Levante, etc ...) and Riviera di Ponente (Cogoleto, Celle, Varazze, Albisola, Alassio , etc...), but it still remained nearby and Genoa (thanks to its port) was often the point of arrival and departure. But all the other tourist destinations, not linked to the sea, present in the various independent municipalities and then in the unified Genoa (palaces, churches, panoramic points, etc.), continue to exist and to be visited, in the last 30 years them was greatly re-evaluated, but they have always remained a point of attraction (just read the publications of the Italian Touring club published over the decades). Are you surprised that I suggest the panoramic view of the sanctuary of "Nostra Signora del Monte Gazzo"? Do you know what places Elisabeth of Austria visited when she visited the Riviera in 1893 for a 3 days holiday? Castelletto, the Nervi promenade, Villa Pallavicini in Pegli and the Sanctuary of Gazzo. And this is because the Sanctuary, thanks to its panoramic view, was considered one of the obligatory places to see on trips in the Riviera. Visiting the Genoese Riviera and seeing only the mainstream attractions of the old Genoa city center ignoring everything else (including the historic centers of the various districts), is like going on vacation to the antipodes and, once you arrive, spending all your time inside a McDonald's.

@@alexsbr7111 Elisabeth of Austria in 1893 and someone else from 1670 liked it, so what ? It does nor mean anything about now and how people decide to go somewhere and travel today. Rest assured that when someone goes to Genoa today " Nostra Signora del Monte Gazzo" is not on top of the list for places to visit. ( Scusa, ma chi se la incula la signora del monte gazzo ? ) Everywhere in Italy you have an unlimited number of sanctuaries and about every 750 meters there is a church or 2 or 3, soo it is totally irrelevant who visited what sanctuary 100 or 300 years ago. It's is ridiculous !!! We can agree to disagree. McDonald's old slogan used to be " You deserve a break today." Now it is " I am loving it." The people you mentioned have been dead for a long time. You might want to follow McDonald's and have a more updated point of view for visitors that also reflects what is important today.( Convenience, parking, restaurants, public transportation time/money budgets etc etc and certainly go somewhere and see something that is at hand and easy to do.) Last but not least: instead of criticizing the video he published ( it was awesome ) and suggest him to go to places that no one cares like the suburb of the city, you could always go there yourself and make your own video :- )

Italy is a great economy, because UK is failed e france 13 % work less? Pil 12% is aumentated in 2 year...

A beautiful place :)
