A beautiful creuza in the village of Genoa Nervi.
Genoa Nervi, with its maritime charm and picturesque streets, is a place that enchants anyone who visits it. One of the most fascinating features of this village are its creuze, ancient streets that connect the sea with the higher parts, crossing the Ligurian villages.
The creuze are narrow and steep streets, often paved with rounded pebbles on the sides and red bricks in the center. These paths, which were once the main communication routes between the villages and the sea, today offer a journey through time, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the history and local culture.
One of the most evocative creuze in Genoa Nervi is the one that starts from the small port and winds through the colorful houses and flower gardens. This creuza is known as via Andrea Provana de Leyni and walking along this street, you can breathe the authentic atmosphere of the village, with its sea scents.
Walking along a creuza in Nervi is an experience that remains in the heart. Every corner, every curve, tells a story of times gone by, of fishermen and merchants, of daily life and centuries-old traditions. It is a unique way to discover the hidden beauty of Genoa and to appreciate the simplicity and authenticity of village life.
If you find yourself in Genoa Nervi, do not miss the opportunity to explore one of its creuze. It will be a fascinating journey through history, nature and culture, which will leave you with indelible memories.

A glimpse of Vico Sotto le Murette in Genoa

Uno scorcio di Vico Sotto le Murette a Genova

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.
