Discover the Savory Tastes and essential Sights of Genoa with our Local Expert! On foot through Renaissance streets, magnificent piazzas, and narrow ‘carrugi’ (typical Genoese alleyways), you’ll admire the Monuments of Genoa even as you stop at intriguing shops for a little refreshment. Among your activities: viewing the painted facades of the noble 15th century Rolli Palaces now under UNESCO protection; tasting friscieu (fried herb-filled croquettes), farinata (chickpea crepes) and fresh fried seafood. Relax in the café where composer Giuseppe Verdi hummed a tune, no doubt, between bites of pastry, and then visit “Pietro Romanengo fu Stefano”, the oldest confectioner’s Shop in Italy.
