Gateway to the Italian Riviera, Genoa is a vertiginous town in the north of Italy. Its steep narrow streets and historic properties cling to precipitous slopes that rise up from the busy port to meet the foothills of the Apennine mountain range. Formerly a key maritime centre for the Roman Empire and birthplace of Christopher Columbus, by the middle ages it was one of Italy's most important maritime powers and today remains one of Italy's leading centres of industry and commerce. The atmospheric tangle of streets in the old quarter display evidence of the city's longstanding history, and former golden age through a multitude of marble-clad palaces and magnificent medieval churches.
