Genovesato (Genoese area) - Turismo in Provincia di Genova

GENOVESATO
Here, the salty sea air, the myriad scents of woods, parks, gardens, flowers, streams and
lakes, create a perfect blend of nature, history, art, culture, tradition, folklore and
spirituality. This idyllic area so strongly tied to its climate and land, provides an
abundance of seasonal ingredients for the local culinary traditions. For sporting
enthusiasts the area also offers a wide range of outdoor activities, from water sports to
hiking.The Genovesato (or Genoese area) stretches from the Grande Genova, (fromVoltri
to Nervi), to the Paradiso Gulf (from Bogliasco to Recco), and includes the inland valleys
(Val Bisagno,Val Polcevera,Valle Scrivia andValTrebbia) touching the borders of
Piedmont, Lombardy and Emilia. Situated right in the centre of Liguria, Genoa and its
surrounding area has always been the heart and intellectual capital of the region.Visitors
walking through its villas, palaces, castles, fortresses, aqueducts and museums can
breathe in its thousand year history, and from the walls of its sanctuaries, abbeys,
churches and oratories resounds the ancestral religious spirit of its population. Every year
people indulge in the traditional religious and pagan festivals and costume parades,
renewing the ancient traditions which have been handed down from generation to
generation.This is the perfect place for a holiday painted with deep sea blue and luscious
green, with added shades of history and culture.
