Genoa (Zena, in zeneise ) is the capital of Liguria, a city that has grown thanks to its port and trade sea. Among its illustrious sons would Christopher Colombo, the homelands of the ten thousand men, beside these magnificent defensive towers would be his home.
Via Garibaldi, always important in every Italian city, is especially interesting here, flanked by large buildings in classical and baroque.
is difficult to say where this reaches the maximum of Baroque inspiration, for me, one of the fragments would be more inspired by this fountain that wants to imitate a waterfall between the rocks.
Quite different is the style of the cathedral, in the transition between the Romanesque and Gothic, with these features alternating rows of white and black, which are found in many other Ligurian temples.
We have the afternoon free disposal, and I live the adventure of hunting ... books! I find five titles in the saga of Sandokan, Salgari; an essay on the curative power of fairy tales, the Italian translation of The Lord of the Rings (the Catalan is crying), a book on the cuisine of Liguria. More than a dictionary and a small grammar of Genoa, and a pair of children's stories in this dialect (both Italian dialect, and language per se, are not yet in a position to opine). Although he has not had time to visit the university library, I feel satisfied with the results of the hunt.
