City of migrants - Via Genoa
Genoa is a haven city in Italy. In Genoa, tens of thousands of african migrants arrive, and the city and its inhabitants are overwhelmed by this flood of men. Administratively, the migrants are stuck in Genoa, and the locals have to live with the migrants, the ciminality, and the shift in Genoa's culture, highly visible in the emblematic street Via di Pré.
In the first episode of the VPRO travel series Via Genoa, Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer leads us through the Italian port city of Genoa. He speaks with residents about their changing city, and is looking for stories about migration.
In this first episode Ilja identifies the problems: in the neighborhood, many unemployed African migrants live, and many migrants do not have a residence permit. To have a residence permit they need an employment contract. But there are no jobs for migrants. For this reason,via di Prè became a criminal street, where you avoid eye contact and keep on walking. Even locals do not want to go on Via di Pré anymore.
The new police boss, Sergia Bracco, increased the number of patrols in central Genoa. The reason for this was the neighborhood residents and shopkeepers complaining, the terrorist attacks in other European cities and the various fake bombings in the city. Regular military and police patrols roam the city.
Every day, new Africans arrive in Genoa looking for work that doesn't seem to be real. At present, these are mostly young men from West Africa. In Lampedusa and the reception centers in Sicily they are divided among the Italian municipalities. Genoa currently has over 3000 registered asylum seekers. In the last month of December, tens of thousands came up daily. During the winter season, there are fewer arrivals on the southern Italian coasts, but the prospects are that 2017 will be another record year.
This shows how Italy has changed on the wings of migration over recent decades. Italians traded their salami, cheeses and vegetables and fruits for Senegalese seafood restaurants, Nigerian barbers and Moroccan kebab stores. During the nightly hours, the Italians in this part of the city can be counted on one hand.
In this VPRO travel series Via Genoa, writer Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer speaks with the colorful inhabitants of his hometown, the Italian port city of Genoa. Pfeiffer shows how Italy changes politically, socially and economically with all the newcomers.

Genoa (Genova) is a port city and capital of the Liguria region in northwest Italy. It's known for its central role in maritime trade over many centuries. In the old town stands the Romanesque Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with its black-and-white-striped facade and frescoed interior. Narrow lanes open onto monumental squares like Piazza de Ferrari, site of an iconic bronze fountain and the Teatro Carlo Felice opera house.
Genoa (Genova) is a historical port city in northern Italy, the capital of the Region of Liguria. Genoa today, as a tourist attraction, is often shadowed by cities such as Rome or Venice, even though it has a long history as a rich and powerful trade centre. However, with its multitude of hidden gems behind cozy alleyways, excellent cuisine (notably fish and seafood), renovated old port, beautiful sights (including one of Europe's biggest aquariums), and its position as the European Capital of Culture in 2004 have made the birthplace of explorer Christopher Columbus an enticing place which is gradually becoming more included in the touristic market. With pastel-coloured terracotta-roofed houses, artistic churches, lovely seaside villas, and also several luxurious boutiques, Genoa is a must see if you want to experience the quintessential Italy.
Genoa is known to have Europe’s biggest historical center. This is the heart of the old city. It’s made up of an incredible amount of tiny streets and alleys called Caruggi. Walking through it will plump you right back in ancient times when Genoa was the most important harbor of the Mediterranean sea. The city is generally safe, but caution is to be applied, especially at night time and in the more quiet zones toward Piazza Principe and the old harbor, due to presence of small criminality.
The natal house of Cristoforo Colombo. In piazza Dante you will find what is said to be the natal house of Columbus;
The impressive fortification belt built on the hills surrounding the city, originating in the 16th Century
There is a funicular railway servicing Monte Righi, where one can have pleasant walks on the surrounding hills and to the fortifications (see above), or just admire the spectacular view of the city and the Mediterranean Sea.
Spianata Castelletto is a nice belvedere where one can have a pleasant view of the city and of the seaport. It can be reached by public lift from Piazza della Nunziata or on foot from that very same square.
Via Garibaldi (also known as Via Aurea and Strada Nuova, Golden Street and New Street) with very impressive baroque buildings. Some similar buildings are also found in Via Balbi.
The Old Harbour (Porto Antico), next to the Aquarium, is an entertainment area with museums, cinemas, cafés and also a beautiful promenade along the sea.
The Lanterna - the oldest European lighthouse and a prominent Genovese symbol
A lot of beautiful churches, some of which date back to the Romanesque time (San Giovanni di Pre', San Donato, Santa Maria del Castello)

Muslim refugees in Italy - Via Genoa
Italy is on the front line of migration, and the street scene is changing with every new flow of refugees coming to Italy, searching for a new life. How do the Italians cope with the flow of refugees? And specifically with Muslim refugees? How is it to be a Muslim refugee in Italy? How do the refugees cope with the Italians?
In this second episode of the VPRO travel series Via Genua, Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer speaks to Rosella, a transgender prostitute who is confronted with a mosque next to her house.
Ilja is looking for Kumuna, the minor asylum seeker from Gambia whom he met in the first episode. Kumuna is now going to school. One of the first words he learns there is: Casa. Italian for 'home'. What is Home in Via di Prè? How do you master such a street as Via di Pré and how do you deal with it, if, what you consider your home changes with the arrival of migrants?
It is the day of the Festival of Sacrifice (Aïd el-Kebir). In the Via di Prè the men have put on their most beautiful religious clothing in all colors of the world. The women are at home and prepare the lamb. On the street, Ilja speaks to various Muslims. They tell him that unfortunately they are not allowed to slaughter lamb at home because of the Italian legislation and so they buy it at the Islamic butcher shops in Via di Prè.
Ilja is invited by a Senegalese family living in Via di Prè. The son of the house tells how he hears Italians on the street complaining about the crisis. Senegalese do that differently, he claims. No one has to complain here. We always help each other. That is a bit of a different way of living than people outside the Senegalese community are used to.'

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!

Saint John of Prè, Genoa, Liguria, Italy, Europe
The complex of San Giovanni di Prè, known as the commendation of San Giovanni di Pre, is a Catholic place of worship in the streets of Genoa site of the Commandery, in the district of Pré, near the train station Genova Principe. The complex consists of two churches in Romanesque style, overlapping each other, which form the bulk of the architectural body, and a three-story building, the commendation, namely the convent and hospitable (ground floor rooms) which he absolved the dual function of the marine station on the routes of the Holy Land and of the hospital (ospitaletto), initially for pilgrims and later for the sick and the destitute of the city. While the convent, the hospitality and the lower church is now used for exhibitions and expositions, included in the museum's Mu.MA, the upper church, dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, is however still a place of worship whose parish community It is part of the vicariate Central-West of the Archdiocese of Genoa. The current complex was manufactured from 1180 to the mouth of the Rio S.Ugo, a short stream, now fully covered, coming down the hill behind. In this area, originally facing the sea, once it stood a church dedicated to the Holy Sepulcher, built according to some sources in 636, although the first evidence documented is 1098, when there were laid the alleged ashes of John the Baptist, transported here from the east at the time of the First Crusade, before they were transferred to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. The church belonged to the Order of the Canons of the Holy Sepulchre; with the fall of the Christian kingdom of Jerusalem Order it was dispersed and its properties in Italy passed to the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem. The foundation of the complex, which was mainly used as a shelter for pilgrims to the Holy Land at the time of the Crusades (from Genoa sailed fact in those years the Third Crusade) was commissioned by Brother William, a member of the Knights Jerusalemites, body in 1420 He would give life to the Order of the Knights of Malta. The building, then called Saint John de Arenas understand, at the time of its construction was located outside the city walls, in a still sparsely populated, and was included within the walls only with the expansion fourteenth . The hospitable of San Giovanni di Pre throughout the Middle Ages was an important point of contact between the land routes from Northern Italy and more generally from all over Western Europe and the routes from Genoa brought in all the ports of the Mediterranean . For centuries it was a point of reference for all those, knights, soldiers, merchants, clergymen and pilgrims, who for various reasons passing from here heading to the shores of North Africa, Asia Minor and the Holy Land. Piazza della Commenda are facing the most elaborate architectural structures: the loggias of the convent and the south side of the church where it opens a series of mullioned windows. The upper church, no facade, in the Middle Ages was used for the exclusive use of the knights Jerusalemites, who entered directly from the porch floor and the bottom was destined to pilgrims and residents, although at that time the area was not yet very populated; in the eighteenth century, the upper church became a place of public worship and the lower seat of confraternities. A passage from the hall-dormitory floor led directly to a nearby harbor, so the riders could embark without leaving the building. A plaque commemorates the stay of Pope Urban V 13 to 20 May 1367, during his return trip from Avignon. For over a year, between 1385 and 1386, he stayed there Urban VI. This pope, who fled from the castle of Nocera, where he was besieged by the troops of Charles III, King of Naples, had taken refuge in Genoa carrying prisoners as some cardinals who had conspired against him, and that just at the Commandery were executed in December 1385 (or January 1386) and buried in a place next to the church. Their remains were found in 1829 during construction in an area adjacent to the complex. Originally, the complex formed by the lower church and the hospital was probably named after the patron saint of the Hospitallers, St. John the Baptist, and only at the beginning of the seventeenth century there are records of the title to St. John the Evangelist, while the upper church was called S . Maria. Over time, there were other changes of name: from 1697 the title of St. John the Evangelist went to the upper church and the lower was dedicated to Saint Hugh, until the first half of the two titles were united. Because of the laws of suppression of religious orders issued in 1798 by the Republic Ligure complex, excluding the upper church it was expropriated by the government and used for various purposes. In 1834 a part of the lower church was granted leased to the congregation of the Gospel workers franzoniani.

Genoa Cathedral, Genoa, Liguria, Italy, Europe
Genoa Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the Italian city of Genoa. It is dedicated to Saint Lawrence (San Lorenzo), and is the seat of the Archbishop of Genoa. The cathedral was founded probably in the 5th or 6th century AD, devoted to Saint Sirus, bishop of Genoa. Excavations under the pavement and in the area in front of today's west front have brought to light walls and pavements of Roman age as well as pre-Christian sarcophagi, suggesting the existence of a burial ground in the site. Later a church devoted to the Twelve Apostles was built, which was in turn flanked and replaced by a new cathedral dedicated to Saint Lawrence, in Romanesque style. Money came from the successful enterprises of the Genoese fleets in the Crusades. The transferring of the cathedral favored the urbanization of the zone that, with the construction of its walls in 1155, and the fusion of the three ancient city nuclei (castrum, civitas and burgus), became the heart of the city. The piazza, in the absence of other public squares and centers of lay power, was the only city's public space for the whole Middle Ages. The cathedral was consecrated by Pope Gelasius II in 1118, and from 1133 had archiepiscopal rank. After the fire of 1296, provoked by fights between Guelphs and Ghibellines, the building was partly restored and partly rebuilt. Between 1307 and 1312 the façade was completed, the inner colonnades rebuilt with capitals and matronei added. The Romanesque structures remained pretty untouched, and frescoes of religious subject were also added. Various altars and chapels have been erected between the 14th and 15th centuries. The small loggia on the north-eastern tower of the façade was built in 1455; the opposite one, in Mannerist style, is from 1522. In 1550 the Perugian architect Galeazzo Alessi was commissioned by the city magistrates to plan the reconstruction of the entire building; however, he executed only the covering of the nave and aisles, the pavement, the dome and the apse. The construction of the cathedral finished in the 17th century. The dome and the medieval parts were restored in 1894-1900. The present 7 bells are tuned in the major scale of C#. Among the artworks inside the church are ceiling frescoes in a chapel on the north by Luca Cambiaso; a Crucifixion with Saints (St. Sebastian's Vision) by Barocci; in front of the organ is an Episode from the life of St. Lawrence by Giovanni Andrea Ansaldo; the ceiling fresco in the presbytery of the Martyrdom of St Lawrence was painted by Lazzaro Tavarone; and an Assumption of the Virgin (1914) by Gaetano Previati. The church also contains 14th-century frescoes in the Byzantine style in the main portal. Sculptural works include a statue in the chapel of St. John by Domenico Gagini ; a Virgin and a St. John the Baptist by Andrea Sansovino. Other works include works by Matteo Civitali, Taddeo Carlone,and Giacomo and Guglielmo Della Porta. The Museum of the Treasury lies under the cathedral and holds a collection of jewellery and silverware from 9 AD up to the present. Among the most important pieces are the sacred bowl (it:Sacro Catino) brought by Guglielmo Embriaco after the conquest of Caesarea and supposed to be the chalice used by Christ during the Last Supper; and the Cassa Processionale del Corpus Domini. The cathedral had a fortunate escape on February 9, 1941, when the city was being shelled as part of Operation Grog. Because of a crew error, the British battleship HMS Malaya fired a 381 mm (15.0 in) armour-piercing shell into the south-eastern corner of the nave. The relatively soft material failed to detonate the fuse and the shell is still there.
