Summer wear / Genoa
Push the boat out
As the sun begins to shine on the port city of Genoa its well-dressed guests come out in force. Grab a wide-brimmed hat and join the sun-kissed crew on the curving waterfront or head into town for a sundowner in a crisp white shirt.
Genoa? Come and meet her
Set smack in the middle of the Italian Riviera, Genoa’s enviable location allows quick access to the sea when temperatures warm up. Inhabitants have made the most of its rugged coastline, erecting bagni (beach clubs) right on the rocks in neighbourhoods such as Boccadasse and Nervi.
Its city centre, a mishmash of medieval architecture, stately renaissance and baroque palazzi, is a gritty maze-like network of pedestrian-only streets home to thriving independent retailers that still market themselves to shoppers with old-fashioned signage in original fonts. Be it coffee-roasters, centuries-old confectioners, shirt-makers or soap suppliers, residents can choose from a rich selection of city-based brands when they run errands.
And when it comes to satisfying one’s hunger? There’s both seafood and land-based Ligurian fare, as well as Italy’s top-rated gelateria and a pizzeria with sweeping city views.
