Genoa Cricket and Football Club Museum, Genoa, Italy, Europe
Genoa Cricket and Football Club, commonly referred to simply as Genoa, is a professional Italian football and cricket club based in the city of Genoa, Liguria. During their long history, Genoa have won the Serie A nine times. Genoa's first title came at the inaugural championship in 1898 and their last was in 1923-24. They also won the Coppa Italia once. Historically, Genoa is the fourth most successful Italian club in terms of championships won. This slew of early successes may lie at the origin of the love professed for the team by the godfather of Italian sports journalists Gianni Brera (1919-1992), who, despite having been born nowhere near Genoa, always declared himself a supporter of the team. Brera went as far as creating the nickname Vecchio Balordo (Old Fool or Cranky Old One) for Genoa. The club has played its home games at the 36,536 capacity Stadio Luigi Ferraris since 1911. Since 1946, the ground has been shared with local rivals Sampdoria. Genoa has spent most of its post-war history going up and down between Serie A and Serie B, with two brief spells in Serie C. The club was founded on 7 September 1893 as Genoa Cricket & Athletic Club. In its earliest years, it principally competed in athletics and cricket. Association football was secondly practised. Since the club was set up to represent England abroad, the original shirts worn by the organisation were white, the same colour as the England national team shirt. At first Italians were not permitted to join as it was a British sporting club abroad. Genoa's activities took place in the north-west of the city in the Campasso area, at the Piazza d'Armi. The men who initially handled the management of the club were. Preziosi took over in 2003, when Genoa should have been relegated to C1 series after a dismal season, but was instead saved along with Catania and Salernitana by the football federation's controversial decision to extend Serie B to 24 teams. Things started to look up for Genoa; they won Serie B in 2004-05. However, allegations were raised that the club had fixed a match on the last day of the season between themselves and Venezia. The 3-2 victory in the match saw Genoa win the league, with a draw having been good enough to maintain its position in the end. The Disciplinary Committee of FIGC saw fit to instead place Genoa bottom of the league and relegate them down to Serie C1 on 27 July 2005. For their season in Serie C1 for 2005-06, Genoa were hit with a six point penalty from the previous season. After leading for much of the season, they eventually finished as runners-up and were entered into the play-offs, beating Monza 2-1 on aggregate to achieve promotion back into Serie B. During the summer break Gian Piero Gasperini was brought in as the new manager, he helped the club to gain promotion during the 2006-07 season, it was ensured on the last day of the season where they drew a 0-0 with Napoli, both clubs were happily promoted back into Serie A. The first Serie A championship played by Genoa in 12 years saw it finishing at a respectable tenth place, right after the big ones of Italian football. A careful summer market session saw President Preziosi strengthening the core of the team while parting from some players on favourable economical terms (for example selling striker Marco Borriello to Milan for a hefty sum). Genoa's aims for the 2008-09 season were set on a UEFA Cup spot. This was achieved after a strong season which saw the team besting traditional powerhouses like Juventus, Roma, and Milan, and winning both Genoa derbies against Sampdoria, with Diego Milito finishing among the top scorers of the championship. Genoa subsequently lost Milito and midfielder Thiago Motta to Internazionale, but were able to bring in striker Hernán Crespo. They then invested considerable funds (approximately €40 million) in an effort to expand the club's player quality. Things however didn't go as planned, however, with the injury-plagued team eliminated in the early stages of Europa League and Coppa Italia and reaching a rather disappointing ninth place in Serie A. The 2010-11 season saw Genoa, whose ranks had been revolutionised once again save for some long-serving players, struggle along in the mid-positions of the league; a slew of questionable results early in the season led President Preziosi to fire trainer Gian Piero Gasperini, who had led the team since the 2007-08 season, and to select Davide Ballardini as his successor. The newcomer, despite not securing memorable successes, kept the team steadily afloat in the left part of the ranking, managing to win two consecutive derbys against rivals Sampdoria in December and May. The 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons saw Genoa place in 17th both times, one spot away from relegation to Serie B football.
Genoa (Italy) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Genoa in Italy.
Genoa is the fifth largest city in Italy. Once a European Capital Of Culture, the city has an historical centre and harbour, as well as palaces, churches and narrow streets. We begin our tour of the city in the Villa Del Principe, a palazzo that was built for famous Admiral Of The Fleet, Andrea Doria, and created by Perino Del Vaga, a pupil of Raffael. At the harbour, the Commenda Di Pré became the crusader‘s hospice of the Order Of Jerusalem, which was followed by the Maltese Order of Knights in the fifteenth century. The Palazzo San Giorgio is the original seat of one of Italy’s first banks and was where Marco Polo was captured and from where he dictated his travels in China. Porto Antico has been transformed into a fine leisure centre. A biosphere was created, designed by leading architect, Renzo Piano. An extraordinary tropical greenhouse contains parrots and small reptiles. Palm trees adorn the promenade which has always been a popular destination for a relaxing stroll. Close to Via San Luca is the Palazzo Spinola, former residence of the noble Spinola Family, it has many original features. Today it is the Galleria Nazionale featuring the works of international masters and also prominent Genoese artists. The famous Staglieno Cemetery is located near the station. It is also tantamount to being an open-air museum of sculpture. The splendour and vibrancy of the memorials is unique, a glorious necropolis. Genoa is portrayed in the cemetery as a cosmopolitan port city in which all religions are accepted in death. The capital of the Liguria region has always been the Gateway To The World, a mediaeval naval power made rich by maritime trade. Genoa, dominator of the seas, is a metropolis in transition, a city that appeals to all of the senses!

Royal Palace Museum of Genova
It was the Balbi family who built the Royal Palace (Palazzo Reale) between 1643 and 1655. Renovated by Carlo Fontana, it became the Royal Palace in 1825. It was the Royal Family of Savoia who used at the residence, but now it is owned by the state. It is from the simple garden that the elegant baroque architecture, with its red and yellow paint, that the building can be best appreciated. While in the garden you can visit the mosaic, which came from the now destroyed Monastery of Turchine in Castelletto.

D'Albertis Castle, Museum of World Cultures, Genoa, Liguria, Italy, Europe
The Castello d'Albertis, or D'Albertis Castle is a historical residence in Genoa, north-western Italy. It was the home of sea captain Enrico Alberto d'Albertis, and was donated to the city of Genoa on his death in 1932. It currently houses the Museo delle Culture del Mondo (Museum of World Cultures), inaugurated in 2004.

Erected between 1886 and 1892 under the supervision of Gothic Revivalist Alfredo D'Andrade, the castle is located on the site of a 13th-century fortified area, which had been reinforced in the 16th century. Alberto not only based his design on the city's foundation, he incorporated and preserved the foundations of the bastion and one of the turrets. Inaugurated for the celebrations of 400 years of Columbus' discover of America, it was the first villa-castle built in Genoa. From top of the hill of Monte Galletto (or Montegalletto), one of the hills in the district of Castelletto, the castle dominates Genoa with a view of the Ligurian Sea. The museum includes ethnographic and archaeological findings collected by both Enrico and Luigi Maria d'Albertis during their trips to Africa, America (from Canada to Tierra del Fuego), New Guinea and Oceania. There is a large number of weapons from Sudan and the Zambesi area Chinese spears and European halberds. There are several exemplars of Canadian and American plains indigenous people, made in buffalo and deer leather and covered by porcupine thorns; also findings belonging to the Maya civilization from Honduras are present. It also exhibits models of ships and yachts, nautical instruments, photographs and the volumes of d'Albertis personal library. A separate section dedicated to music (the Museo delle Musiche dei Popoli, Museum of Peoples' Music) exhibits musical instruments from the whole world.

Galata Sea Museum, Genoa, Liguria, Italy, Europe
The Galata Sea Museum in Genoa is the museum dedicated to this kind larger than the Mediterranean Sea, and also one of the most modern in Italy. Galata is a historic district of Istanbul, and, until the fifteenth century, the site of one of the largest communities Genoese in the Mediterranean. So at the end of the nineteenth century, when the City of Genoa built a commercial district of docks, the oldest of these was given the name of the ancient colony. In the nineteenth century, Galata already had a long history of nearly three centuries: in its lower part, in fact, galleys were built by the Republic of Genoa and the building was part of the Arsenal, the military and maritime most important city. In the twentieth century, Galata lost its commercial function and was abandoned. In the late '90s, the City decided to establish here the headquarters of the future maritime museum in Genoa. Opened in 2004, on the occasion of Genoa European Capital of Culture in 2004, the museum is located in the Galata Palace, whose renovation was designed by Spanish architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra. The museum houses, in addition to a full-scale reproduction of a Genoese galley, several interactive rooms in which to understand what he meant, at various times, going to sea. One of these is the exhibition La Merica showing the journey of our ancestors to America. There are numerous rooms dedicated to maritime trade and all'andar to sea at the time of the Maritime Republic of Genoa. The museum also has a section devoted to transatlantic with nautical charts and a simulation of a storm off Cape Horn. The Galata - Sea Museum also has an exhibition hall, library, cafeteria with terrace. It is the seat of activities with schools, helped by the proximity of the museum center with the station Genoa Principe and near the metro station Dock. In 1978, off the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean boat Ambrose Fogar is probably affected by an orca or by a freak wave and sank in a short time, Ambrose and travel companion Mauro Mancini can bring in except on a raft where they were rescued 74 days later, Mancini unfortunately did not survive. In 2010, 32 years later, the family decides to donate Fogar the raft to Galata - Maritime Museum of Genoa; The donation was made directly by the daughter Francesca Fogar. Since September 26, 2009 in front of the dock in front of the Sea Museum is moored the submarine Nazario Sauro (S 518), launched in 1976 by the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone. Designed by the Italian Navy to the city of Genoa, is used by May 29, 2010 as an appendix floating museum Galata.
ITALY: EXPLORING GENOA (GENOVA), top attractions ???? and PLACES TO AVOID
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go lose ourselves in the mediaeval streets and traditional old workshops of the historic city of Genoa (Genova) in Italy.
One of the largest in Europe, Genoa's historic centre unwinds in an intricate maze of alleyways (caruggi) that open unexpectedly onto small squares; the soul of the city lives here in these alleyways, where smells, tastes, and cultures have combined throughout history.
In these narrow spaces, tucked away between the hills and the sea, the pride of wealthy Genoese merchants, indomitable leaders of the Republic, had beautiful mansions built, in which works of art have been collected and preserved for centuries and are visible to this day in several house-museums.
In this dense urban landscape, where the windows are so close they almost touch, architectural styles are layered over one another, with a medieval wall serving as the base of a 14th-century building and Gothic loggias becoming trendy bars: this is a place where the past forms the foundations of the present.
In the centre, where time seems to have stood still, noble palaces and splendid churches alternate with historic shops that have been in operation for over 100 years, where local specialities are still prepared according to ancient recipes and handmade objects are crafted with timeless skill.
Italy, a European country with a long Mediterranean coastline, has left a powerful mark on Western culture and cuisine. Its capital, Rome, is home to the Vatican as well as landmark art and ancient ruins. Other major cities include Florence, with Renaissance masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s David and Brunelleschi's Duomo; Venice, the city of canals; and Milan, Italy’s fashion capital.

Galley XVII Century, Galata Sea Museum, Galata Sea Museum, Genoa, Italy
A galley is a type of ship propelled by rowers that originated in the Mediterranean region and was used for warfare, trade and piracy from the first millennium BC. Galleys dominated naval warfare in the Mediterranean Sea from the 8th century BC until development of advanced sailing warships in the 17th century. Galleys fought in the wars of Assyria, ancient Phoenicia, Greece, Carthage and Rome until the 4th century AD. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire galleys formed the mainstay of the Byzantine navy and other navies of successors of the Roman Empire, as well as new Muslim navies. Medieval Mediterranean states, notably the Italian maritime republics, including Venice, Pisa, and Genoa, relied on them as the primary warships of their fleets until the late 16th century, when they were displaced by broadside sailing warships. Galleys continued to be applied in minor roles in the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea even after the invention of steam propelled ships in the early 19th century.The galley engagements at Actium and Lepanto are among the greatest naval battles in history.
GENOA, EXPLORING the spectacular monuments of MONUMENTAL CEMETERY (STAGLIENO), ITALY ⚱️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit the Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno which is an extensive cemetery located on a hillside in the district of Staglieno of Genoa, Italy, famous for its monumental sculpture. Covering an area of more than a square kilometre, it is one of the largest cemeteries in Europe.
It is a stunning cemetery famous for its extraordinarily delicate & lifelike mourning sculptures
Designed by the famous Genovese architect Carlo Barabino in a Neo-Classical style, the Staglieno Cemetery (Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno) opened in 1851. A compromise between the formality of the traditional orderly camposanto layout and the newly fashionable wilderness style of boschetto irregulare, seen in Père Lachaise in Paris, the grounds included cloisters, garden paths, and a reproduction of the famous Pantheon in Rome. The new cemetery quickly became the fashionable death option, and increasingly was a showcase for world-class sculpture.
Italy, a European country with a long Mediterranean coastline, has left a powerful mark on Western culture and cuisine. Its capital, Rome, is home to the Vatican as well as landmark art and ancient ruins. Other major cities include Florence, with Renaissance masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s David and Brunelleschi's Duomo; Venice, the city of canals; and Milan, Italy’s fashion capital.
