ARTISTIC SETTINGS
A world of art; churches,
palaces, villas, and villages
La Superba displays a range of original works of fine art: not all famous but nonetheless very
worthy of being noted. From the Middle ages through to the present day, history has left its
mark on the city. Architectural styles have weaved together over the years: from the
Romanesque to the Gothic style, from Baroque to Rococo, from Art Nouveau to Rationalism. It
is a complex and varied art world, made up of churches, palaces, houses and monuments
including also the villages of the Paradiso Gulf and the valleys behind Genoa. A world which is
found on the slopes of the Apennines, set amongst chestnut, larch, oak and fir tree woods.
Ideal vacation spots for the Genoese families that used to spend their summer holidays there.
The people of these numerous remote mountain villages nestled on the hillsides amongst
green pastures and enchanting woods have wisely protected them from the ravages of time.
