 Unmissable for the shopping male |
Via Roma, 38r Genoa 16100 Italy +39 10 56 2073 |
The news that Gianni Agnelli orders his ties from here may give one to understand the caliber of this men's shop. Even the least vain man could find himself spending an entire afternoon here at Via Roma, 38. The Genoese aristocracy, on a par with the English Lords in their sober elegance and impeccable detail, come here to seek advice on the crucial decisions of how many centimetres are needed, length and breadth to create their perfect fit. A supplier of ties, shirts, cashmere cardigans and socks, Finollo celebrates its hundredth anniversary this year. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 A balcony overlooking the sea |
Via Anita Garibaldi Genoa 16167 Italy |
This trail is carved into the rock and it weaves through the little port of Nervi, with its picturesque pastel coloured houses, and the splendid villas of Capolungo, whose park leads to the sea. It is easily traversed in all seasons, shielded from the cold winter winds, with incomparable views over the eastern Riviera. Along the route there are numerous open air bars, ice cream shops, restaurants and night clubs, as well as a 16th century look-out tower which stands over the cliffs and reefs. The atmosphere on starry summer nights is incredibly romantic. Review © 2007, Wcities |
