The Battistine Hill in Genoa

Salita delle Battistine in Genoa.
Salita delle Battistine is one of the most charming streets in Genoa, located in the heart of the Maddalena district. This steep creuza connects Piazza Portello to Piazza dei Cappuccini, offering a suggestive route that seems to catapult visitors into the historic center of the city.
The street takes its name from the church and convent of the Romite di San Giovanni Battista, known as the Battistine. This convent, now used as a school, has a rich and interesting history. During the works for the opening of the Nino Bixio gallery, part of the ancient 12th century walls were demolished, revealing a secondary entrance to the convent through a pointed arch.
Today, Salita delle Battistine is a pedestrian street, often frequented by students and residents. Despite its current state, with uneven pavement and graffiti, the street retains a particular charm. It is also known for having hosted the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who wrote some pages of the manuscripts of Zarathustra here.
The Salita delle Battistine represents a perfect example of how history and modernity can coexist, offering visitors a unique experience in the heart of Genoa.

The steep and spectacular creuza, when descending, seems to catapult you into the city centre. At number 12 is the former church and convent of San Giovanni Battista (1744) which gave the street its name, now home to the Giano Grillo primary school and the Bertani Ruffini secondary school.

I took a lot of photos around the city of Genoa and you can find almost all of them here or by searching in the various articles specific to the Ligurian city.
If you want to find some ideas to learn more about the Superba I refer you to the website of the Municipality's Tourism: visitgenoa.it. This is the institutional website of the Municipality: smart.comune.genova.it.
If you are looking for a nice portal that talks about all of Liguria I invite you to visit the official website of the Region: lamialiguria.it.
If you need a good paper guide of the city I invite you to consult these publications: Genova e il Tigullio, Genova. Una guida or Guida indipendente alla città di Genova.
If you are passionate about mysteries and legends then I suggest you read these two books: Alla scoperta dei segreti perduti di Genova and Genova misteriosa.
