Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi, 25 Genoa 16167 Italy |
The nicest communal bathing area in Capoluogo is in the attractive seaside area of Nervi. Scogliera is open year round and occupies a large area of the cliffs where umbrellas are set directly in the rock. In the summer, from June to mid September, the swimming pool is open, right between the railway and the sea. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Natural swimming pool |
Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi, 27a Genoa 16167 Italy |
Medusa, on the Nerva promenade, is just like a balcony over the sea with a trattoria and pizzeria in the winter and a bathing centre in the summer with a curious, natural, tidal swimming pool which is a small basin formed out of rock jutting straight out of the sea. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Paintings among the roses |
Villa Grimaldi Fassio - Via Capolungo, 9 Genoa 16167 Italy +39 10 32 2396 http://www.comune.genova.it/tu... |
Set in a splendid park with a rose garden, the eighteenth century villa Grimaldi was renovated in 1960 by the architect Daneri to accommodate the residential requirements of the Fassio family. It houses two important art collections, donated to the council by the brothers Lazzaro, G.B. and Luigi Frugone in 1935 and 1953. The Frugone collections, open to the public since 1993, comprised 286 works, including sculptures, paintings and drawings by both Italian and foreign artists from the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. They are displayed on three floors. There are many portraits and landscapes, in keeping with bourgeoisie artistic taste of the time. Among the best known artists are G. Fattori, T. Signorini, G. Boldini, G. De Nittis, L. Bistolfi, G. Segantini; there are also several paintings by R. Miller. The museum also has an interesting information archive and school or family learning sessions can be arranged. There is also a crèche which may be used on request. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A museum-residence on the Nervi cliffs |

This museum-residence is a beautiful villa dating from the early 1900's, with a garden sloping towards the cliffs and the sea. It was recently reopened to the public after many years of restoration work. The imperial courts of Austria and Russia, and the regal trains of half of Europe once loved to sojourn in its sumptuous rooms, which are now home to the art collection amassed by the Luxoro family over a fifty year period. This collection includes Ligurian paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, ceramics, clocks, nativity figurines dressed in costly period costume, furniture, hangings, and silverware. As was requested by the family who bequeathed the collection, all the objects have been conserved in their original conditions. Admission: Free for school groups (booking required), under 18's and pensioners. Free entrance for all on Sundays. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Squirrels in the park |
Via Capolungo 1, 3, 9 Via Anita Garibaldi Genoa 16167 Italy |
Today a public park, this is an amalgamation of the splendid gardens of the Groppallo, Serra and Grimaldi villas, which, together with the Villa Brignole Sale (Duchessa di Galliera), make up the largest green space in the city. This luxuriant area, which occupies almost nine hectares, retains the orignal, romatically inspired layout of the gardens, with English lawns, palm trees, ponds and fountains, and a beautiful rose garden which in May and June is visited by plant lovers from near and far. While Villa Groppallo houses the city library, Villa serra is the site of the Galleria d'Arte Moderna Villa Serra Groppallo, and in what was the Villa Grimaldi (now Fassio) is the Raccolte Frugone a Villa Fassio. In the summer, the park, has recently been discovered as a perfect film location, hosts the famous International Ballet Festival and the Rose Garden Cinema: a summer arena for contemporary and classic films. But the Parco di Nervi is perhaps most memorable for the numerous, almost tame squirrels that live there, delighting generations of children. Review © 2007, Wcities |
