 A taste of the sea |
Via Cibrario 5 Genoa 16154 Italy +39 10 651 2654 |
One of the aims of the Italian Naval League (45,000 members), is to spread 'culture and love for the sea'. It has a good representation in Genoa in the Sestri Ponente area, with over 1,400 members and 700 boats, and is one of the most important in Italy. They practice and teach fishing, sailing, diving and rowing here at an amateur and competitive level. Located near the airport in the Sestri district, it has close links to the area and offers free sailing courses for local school children. It also organizes rowing and sailing races and fishing competitions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Fun in the park |
Via Pallavicini, 13 Genoa 16155 Italy |
The Park of the Villa Durazzo Pallavicini is a magnificent example of a romantic landscape garden, which is almost unrivaled in Italy. It is a hilly park with oak and pine woods, grassy expanses and even a little zoo with fallow deer and goats. It is an impressive nineteenth century garden, a Disneyland of yore with triumphal arches, lakes, waterfalls, temples, crenelated castles and oriental pagodas. It is interesting to visit all year round and there are several services provided: guided tours, a book shop, boat trips and a cafeteria. Review © 2007, Wcities |
