The fishermen's shacks on the Nervi promenade in Genoa.
The Nervi promenade, with its breathtaking view of the sea and its lush gardens, is one of the most fascinating places in Genoa. Among its most characteristic corners, the fishermen's shacks stand out, which tell stories of a past linked to the sea and fishing.
These small buildings carved into a ravine in the rocky coast, painted in bright colors, a few steps from the waves that crash on the rocks. The shacks are used by local fishermen to store their nets, fishing gear and boats. However, many of these shacks are now half abandoned, silent witnesses of an era that seems far away.
Walking along the Nervi promenade, you can observe the silence that envelops these sheds. The salty scent of the water mixes with the smell of fresh fish, creating an authentic and evocative atmosphere. The shacks, with their faded colors and closed doors, tell stories of a time when fishing was a vital part of everyday life.
They are not only places of work, but also meeting and socializing points. Often, old fishermen gather to exchange advice, tell stories of the sea and share moments of conviviality. These meetings strengthen the sense of community and belonging, creating deep bonds between people.
The Nervi promenade, with its fishermen's shacks, represents a perfect combination of nature and tradition. It is a place where time seems to have stopped, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in an authentic and genuine atmosphere. The shacks, with their colors and stories, add a touch of magic to this corner of Genoa, making it a unique and unforgettable place.
