140. : The City of Genova: Pesto, Palaces and Blue Jeans!
from Kimberly's Italy Travel · host Kimberly Holcombe
The busy and vibrant port city of Genova is steeped in Maritime history, yet also lays claim to being the birthplace of both Christopher Columbus and the modern-day architect Renzo Piano. Our journey through Genova wouldn’t be complete without savoring the city’s culinary masterpiece, Pesto Genovese! It is reason enough to visit the city, but fortunately there are architectural wonders to visit between your pesto tastings with very grand and refined palazzos which adorn Via Garibaldi. To experience the authentic Genova, you can walk the myriad of “caruggi” (alleyways) that are home to some of the original trattorias featuring pesto naturally, and perhaps some of these same caruggi are where blue jeans were first made.
