Port of Genoa
02 Feb 2007 12:11 :Ports & Places
Here are some shots from Genoa (Genova in Italian and Gênes in French) taken a couple of days ago. Genoa has a thriving maritime industry. Of course this ancient city state was once the major regional power. Its flag, the cross of St George, the red cross on a white background, was adopted by England and the City of London in the 12th century, so that their traders could sail these waters under the safety of the Genovese flag. It remains England's flag today…
Genoa is replete with shipyards where ferries and large ships are built as well as areas used by smaller yacht builders and refitters. One very large yacht marina is in the process of being built. The Porto Antico in the city centre is where most yachts can currently be found, the largest on my visit being Skat and Bleu de Nîmes. Much of this port area has been given a chic facelift and many of the adjoining wharves and warehouses are quickly being converted into what will undoubtedly be a very cool and stylish part of the city, with beautiful shops and restaurants housed in fantastically redeveloped maritime buildings. If ever the town planners work out how to replace the crazy overpasses with something quieter and less obtrusive this could be a real top location.
