A palace designed by Raffaele Croce in Genoa. I have seen (and I think photographed) this palace located in via XX Settembre, just a short distance from the Ponte Monumentale, several times but by searching and searching I managed to discover that it was designed in 1909 by Raffaele Croce. I really like its style and colors!

Details of the Arch of Victory in Genoa. Located in the heart of the beautiful port city of Genoa, the Arch of Victory is a tangible testimony to the glorious history and rich culture of the city. This majestic monument, erected to commemorate the Italian military victories during the First World War, stands as a symbol of resilience, determination and hope. The Arch of Victory, also known as the “Arch of Triumph”, was designed by the architect Marcello Piacentini and inaugurated in 1931. Its construction was commissioned by the fascist regime of Mussolini to celebrate the Italian victories in the Great War and to honor the fallen. This imposing monument, characterized by a neoclassical structure and allegorical decorations, represents a tribute to military strength and patriotic sacrifice. The inscriptions engraved on its facades commemorate the battles and heroes who defended the country’s honor and freedom. The Arch of Victory is a superb example of monumental architecture, characterized by clean lines, harmonious proportions and intricate details. Its imposing shape and Corinthian columns evoke the ancient traditions of Roman architecture, while the allegorical sculptures and decorations add a touch of grandeur and symbolism. At the top of the arch, a bronze quadriga drawn by four horses represents the triumphal victory, symbolizing the triumph of the Italian nation over enemy forces. This extraordinary work of art embodies the power and determination of the Italian people in pursuing victory and peace. Today, the Arch of Victory remains not only a historical monument, but also an iconic landmark and a meeting place for the citizens of Genoa and visitors from around the world. It is a symbol of national unity and hope for a better future, a reminder that peace and prosperity can be achieved through cooperation and mutual respect. Despite the historical controversies surrounding its construction and meaning, the Arch of Victory continues to inspire and provoke reflection on human nature and the consequences of war. It is a reminder that, even in the darkest of situations, the light of hope and dignity can still shine, guiding future generations towards a world of peace, tolerance and mutual understanding. Ultimately, the Arch of Victory in Genoa is much more than just a monument; it is a monument to resilience, military glory and the perpetual pursuit of peace and justice in the world.

The fountain of the Marine Genius in Piazza Colombo in Genoa. In the very central Piazza Colombo there is this beautiful fountain (which was previously in front of the Royal Palace) restored quite recently. The photo was taken coming from Via XX Settembre along Via Galata.
Have you ever seen this fountain? Add your own comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.
The fountain was moved from Ponte Reale to Piazza Colombo in 1861 to embellish the new nineteenth-century square commissioned by the architect Resasco. Not only beauty but also utility since the barchile served as a watering place for horses and mules coming from the countryside that passed through loaded with vegetables towards the eastern market.

The beautiful Piazza Senarega in the alleys of Genoa. In the heart of Genoa, hidden among the alleys of the historic center, lies the suggestive Piazza Senarega. This picturesque corner is an architectural and historical jewel that tells the authentic soul of the city. The square takes its name from the ancient and noble Senarega family, who in the Middle Ages owned several properties in the area. Today, Piazza Senarega is a quiet refuge from the lively activity of the city center, characterized by a cobblestone pavement and surrounded by historic buildings that bear witness to the passing of the centuries.

Walking through Piazza Senarega means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of times gone by, where every stone seems to tell a story. The narrow streets that lead to the square offer unique and unexpected views, making this place a must-see for those who want to discover the true essence of 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.
