What to do and see in Genoa, Liguria: The Best Monuments & Statues

January 15, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is a bit like solving a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and a perimeter lined with historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges the Teatro Carlo Felice, which was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse is vision of pink and yellow buildings that brighten up this lovely fishing village.

Monumento a Garibaldi

Reviewed By lpMaggi713 - Baltimore, United States

I don’t think we have visited any city in Italy that does not have a monument to Garibaldi. After all, he is one of the founding fathers of Italy and so well revered. This magnificent statue sits right in front of the Carlo Felice Opera House and across from the Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari – you can’t miss it! .
