GENOA, from the crusades to the cruises.

A captivating title to spark curiosity about a city often victimized by many stereotypes used by those who don't know it. Come on, follow me if you want to see the authentic millennial history of Genoa as testified by what has been saved from the destructive action of the pickaxe and bulldozers in recent decades. Two similar words "Crociate" and "Crociere" to indicate the beginning of written history and the present day of Genoa. We start from the port, to immediately meet the Villa of Prince Andrea Doria and shortly after the complex of the Knights of Malta and then the Church where the first crusade was preached in which the Genoese played a major role in transporting the crusaders and in the liberation of Jerusalem and important ports of the Palestinian coast.
