Galata (or Galatae or Pera) is the historical core of Beyoğlu, a district of Istanbul, and is located in the northern part of the Golden Horn, the inlet that separates it from the historic city center. There are various theories on the origin of the name "Galata": it could be a contamination of the Italian term calata, archaism for scalo (arch. scala), or derive from gala, milk in Greek; the most probable derivation is however from the Celtic tribe of the Galatians who are believed to have settled in that place in the Hellenistic period: more precisely, a prince of Galatia would have settled there.

Spaghettoni with clams from Buca di San Matteo in Genoa. My wife's favorite Italian dish is probably pasta, or rather spaghetti, with clams. When we eat at a restaurant she almost always orders this dish. Some time ago we were in the center of Genoa and we had lunch at this excellent restaurant, Buca di San Matteo, and she enjoyed this dish of spaghettoni (which if I remember correctly were Senatore Cappelli) with clams and bottarga. Really good!

The porticos of Via di Sottoripa in the heart of Genoa. In the beating heart of Genoa, the porticos of Via di Sottoripa represent a fascinating journey through time. These porticos, located along the northern side of Piazza Caricamento and Via Turati, are among the oldest in Italy, dating back to the 12th century. Originally lapped by the sea, today they are located about one hundred meters from the coast, but continue to be a central point of reference in the daily life of the city. The porticos of Sottoripa were built between 1125 and 1133 on the initiative of the consuls of the Municipality of Genoa. Their construction was intended to create spaces necessary for port trade, hosting shops, artisan workshops and warehouses. The goods were moved by the camalli, the port's unloaders, who transported the cargo from the ships to the docks and warehouses. Today, the porticos of Sottoripa are a lively center of commercial activity. Here you can find shops selling exotic food, sailor clothing, old fry shops and historic restaurants. Walking under the arcades, you can breathe in the air of the Middle Ages and the Orient, with sounds and scents that make this experience unique. The arcades of Sottoripa are not only a place of commerce, but also a meeting point for Genoese and tourists. Their characteristic atmosphere, enriched by historic and modern shops, makes this area an unmissable place for those visiting Genoa. Reaching the arcades of Sottoripa is easy. You can get off at the San Giorgio metro stop, take bus number 1 to the terminus in Piazza Caricamento, or park in the Porto Antico area.

The street was called “di Sottoripa” (Sotorîa in the Ligurian language, “Sottoripa” in the Italian translation) because the sea reached the porticoes, whose foundations were below sea level, and therefore literally “under the bank”. The term ripa (shore) indicated the main dock of the ancient port of Genoa, distinguishing it from the many small coves of the Ligurian Riviera (that is, the stretch of coast, or riviera, indicated in the original language as rivêa or ripétta).
