An enchanting glimpse of the Nervi Promenade

Uno scorcio incantato della Passeggiata di Nervi

An enchanting glimpse of the Nervi Promenade.
Among the most fascinating places on the Ligurian Riviera, the Anita Garibaldi Promenade in Genoa Nervi is a true gem nestled between the sea and the cliffs. Approximately two kilometers long, this promenade offers breathtaking views that seem to have emerged from an Impressionist painting, where the sunlight dances on the water and the scent of the salt air mingles with the greenery of the surrounding parks.
One of the most evocative views opens up shortly after the small port of Nervi, where the path narrows between the rocks and the sea. Here, the panorama suddenly opens up: to the left, the waves crash against the rocks with poetic force; to the right, the historic villas overlook discreetly, immersed in the silence of the gardens. In the distance, on clear days, you can even glimpse the outline of Corsica, like a mirage on the horizon.
Colors are the protagonists: the intense blue of the sea, the brilliant green of the maritime pines, the warm red of the sunsets that set the sky ablaze. The wrought-iron benches invite you to pause, reflect, and contemplate. It's the perfect place for those seeking inspiration, peace, or simply a moment of authentic beauty.
This view is also beloved by painters and photographers, who capture its ever-changing spirit: every hour of the day offers a different light, every season transforms its face. In spring, the path fills with wildflowers; in winter, the sea becomes darker and more dramatic, but no less captivating.

The Nervi Promenade is more than just a scenic route: it's a sensory experience, a journey into the harmony of nature and architecture, an invitation to slow down and be enchanted.

The Anita Garibaldi promenade in Genoa Nervi

La passeggiata Anita Garibaldi di Genova Nervi

The Anita Garibaldi promenade in Genoa Nervi.
The promenade has ancient origins, dating back to 1823, when it was a simple path used by local fishermen and farmers to reach fishing spots and farmland. In 1862, the Marquis Gaetano Gropallo began work to transform this path into a real seaside promenade, initially divided into two sections. The first section connected the small port of Nervi with the ancient Gropallo tower, while the second section, completed in 1872, connected via Serra Gropallo with Capolungo.
Today, the Anita Garibaldi promenade is a favorite destination for both Genoese and tourists. Its exclusive pedestrianization, introduced in 1959, makes it ideal for relaxing walks, jogging, and moments of contemplation of the sea. Along the path, you can find numerous bars and beach resorts, as well as steps that allow access to the sea and natural pools formed by the rocks.
One of the points of interest along the walk is the Gropallo Tower, built in the 16th century as part of the defensive system against pirate attacks. The tower, which takes its name from the Marquis Gropallo, has been restored several times over the centuries and today represents a historical symbol of the area.
Adjacent to the walk, the Nervi Parks offer a green oasis with a wide variety of botanical species, including palms and cedars, and the Luigi Viacava Rose Garden, famous for its over 200 varieties of roses. The parks also host museums of modern and contemporary art, located in the historic villas Gropallo, Saluzzo Serra, Grimaldi Fassio and Luxoro.
Nervi is also home to important cultural events, such as Euroflora, one of the most spectacular floral displays, and the International Ballet and Music Festival, which has regained its historical prestige. These events attract visitors from all over the world, helping to make the promenade and the surrounding parks a center of culture and beauty.

A glimpse of Vico Sotto le Murette in Genoa

A glimpse of Vico Sotto le Murette in Genoa.
I really like discovering glimpses of the historic center of Genoa and, perhaps even more, preparing posts by looking up the names of the streets and the history of the places on the maps.
This point is located just below the famous Campopisano square and this creuza is one of those that lead to that place.

Here is the spot where I took these photos:

The historic center of Genoa is the nucleus of the old city organized in the maze of alleys (caruggi) of medieval origin that develops - from east to west - from the hill of Carignano to the FS station of Genoa Piazza Principe, close to what was the Palazzo del Principe, residence of Admiral Andrea Doria. Urbanistically, the area is part of the Municipio I Centro-Est. It should be noted, however, that the current municipal territory was born from the merger, which occurred several times starting from the second half of the 19th century, of historic Genoa with the adjacent municipalities and towns (now neighborhoods), some of which have their own historic centers of greater or lesser age and urbanistically revolutionized over the years.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Arduino Arriguzzi designed a completion of colossal proportions and without equal in the entire world.

A beautiful creuza of Boccadasse in Genoa

A beautiful creuza in the small village of Boccadasse in Genoa.
Last summer I often had to go back and forth to Genoa and when I could I stopped along the way to enjoy the beauties that my region (Liguria) has.
One of these is precisely the small village of Boccadasse, to the west of Genoa.
This is a typical Ligurian creuza, the small road that goes up from the sea to the village. Stones on the sides, to stop you slipping if it rains, and bricks in the center!
