Pasta anabasis. XIV - the character and flavor of the city of Genoa
It is, perhaps, to tell and proper to Genoa, not only of its maritime museums and exhibitions. Many do not show (and then a few posts stretch, seriously), but the dotted line and in general - yes. Photos the headline put it, which is the maximum completeness reflects the weather, hard out there to haunt us - namely, wet and damp, with no sun and with the periodic rain-mist. It is unpleasant but true - if the province of Lombardy meet and see off the weather with gorgeous sunshine, the seaside of Liguria - the opposite. That such Khmara. That is why the collection will not review species with hills, which are there in abundance. Maybe later on, if even look in here. But Genoa is simple, Everyday, life here will be a lot. No Uchi-Pusey and pink snot, with all the palazzo. Palazzo you without me easily would find on the web.
So - let's see.
Genoa winter landscape: the sea, a lighthouse, Khmara and fog with drizzle
2. Begins with a story from the forecourt station Principe himself Station I showed earlier . There is a monument to Christopher Columbus, this one is white. Alas, only from the back (it's kind of a stone staircase leading up to the hotel). For some reason person I did not take off, although passed by just 8-10. But why, and I do not know. If you go straight to the sea, it would soon arrive from the vessel, as if to turn left - then to the Old Town and the Old Port. We's look and the first and second and third.
3. First come to the harbor kruiznikov. At the time of our stay there moored shuttle ferry in Tunisia. Now, 2 months after, I think it is unlikely that a flight goes :-) In the distance - the same lighthouse that on the cover photo. Further, and to the right - an area with tall new building houses.
4. Just left of the main harbor, is a small, but elegant, grandiose sea port of the XIX century. It is from here went to the Transatlantic America I showed in Part 12 of Italian cycle.
5. The central part of the facade and the pediment with an inscription Stazione Marittima .
6. Now, from Columbus and the station goes to east and south-east towards the old town and port. I have pictures of the weather eventually turned out not so much, so do not be surprised that I immediately put the evening and daytime mixed. In December day is short, and by 5 pm it was pitch dark though. And we walked significantly longer.
7. The shortest path to the Old Town - on a trolleybus street via Balbi. Since it was the shortest on the road from the hotel to the port and the center, it even managed to me a few podnadoest. It has 2 or 3 old honored merchant palazzo, but I have not looked in detail, although for the sake of interest wrapped on the road, looking nodding.
8. This is the Via Balbi, but in the evening. On the left of the picture - One of the oldest and distinguished palazzo powerful, skillfully inscribed in relief of the steep slope. They are well-dilapidated, so not only the authentic, but и смотрятся как пришельцы из XVII века.
9. Как и положено, в не сильно буржуазных районах, где немало людей с невысоким доходом, часто попадаются серпы и молотки, ottrafarechennye profiles of Che on the walls, and similar signs.
10. Via Balbi finished here this church (output streets - to the left of the facade, and then you can go down to the Porto Antico (Old Port), a bustling waterfront, or straight - in the maze of the Old City.
11. We leave to the Port line, carrying the name of the innocent murdered in the Italian Mafia 1970 Aldo Moro (or wine, do not know). It is long, encircles the entire historic harbor and goes further to the east. Buildings here mixed - Old (XIX century) and the new.
12. Tribute to the automobile society was the Motorway on top. Perhaps, before this place was romantically beautiful Given the coastal landscapes and building near the sea, but now resembles the Tokyo-Hong Kong-style. During the overpass on the left shows a little glass Maritime Museum.
13. Very close to that shown me Galata Maritime Museum is now a gloomy old castle. Or not a fortress, or perhaps a prison or customs. In short, something historically port.
14. Next, we pass by a fake galleon to delight visitors to the renovated Old Port (Porto Antico).
15. Galleon is really a much too falsely novodelny, so I'm at it time and money spent was not.
16. The next object on the road - Aquarium (Acquario di Genova). The essence of an outstanding and interesting, the Italians argue that it is the largest aquarium in Europe. And indeed, it is huge and good - but if you go with children, then the ideal content. You can go there at least for a day. Contains many large pools-ecosystem (Antarctica and the penguins, the Nile delta with crocodiles Atlantic dolphin, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea with colorful fish, Madagascar, Australian reefs, etc.). With transparent glass and different points review. Only a bastard, my dear - anything under 30 euros per person, or closer to 25. But if we take an integrated ticket (Maritime Museum, Submarine, Aquarium), it goes much cheaper. Here it does not show all the same impression is not given.
17. Porto Antico renovated into a tourist facility, somewhere not too long ago.
18. His Harbor a smaller one where there is a sea port and come kruizniki and ferries, and it's not designed for large vessels. Here only a trifle - yacht. In the distance - something navrode Exhibition Centre.
18a. Old crane, turned into a style object Porto Antico.
19. View from the balcony of the Aquarium back to the waterfront and a fake galleon. Hills visible in the mist.
20. The harbor is Old Town, it is quite extended along the port entity and st. Aldo Moro. Represents many gloomy quarters with really old buildings (not novodelnymi), where the narrow streets after 4:00 pm sharitsya large set of port suspicious persons. Girls go there alone not worth it, in my opinion.
21. He is the same, but the evening. I shot quite a few here, something there was no special desires, and even when having dinner right in front of the Doge's Palace, the palace said was too lazy to take off. But it looks like La Scala, Milan - the name loudly, and from the outside species can not laugh.
22. In some places in the Old City can be a deadlock, as Mironov in "Diamond Hand", so I advise it to keep my ears open and check with a navigator or a map.
23. Therefore, leaving the central regions, after the first recognition, I prefer not to labyrinthine Old City, and the more northerly and civilized Via Garibaldi and Kayroli.
24. The brightest sign of Genoa - relief. It's not even an Italian Kiev - an Italian Vladivostok. Before last century there have paved the transport tunnels directly into the capital building, so that the topography there is very uncommon.
25. That is now approaching the tunnel Garibaldi (the Old City has remained on the right).
26. Go through the tunnel and can be pedestrian, but not very comfortable. But - you can. Ahead of us, on a strip of public transport - Local trolley.
27. Exiting the tunnel Garibaldi.
28. Another example of the tunnel. Here they are very few.
29. In the most unexpected places, such as stylobate buildings will be exposed to the entrances to the funicular. I counted them then 8 pieces, one - with 2 stops on the road. As a pseudo-underground metro to the mountain. Entrances to the cable cars have either know or have a map with them, where they are marked by red thick lines. They are often great way to reduce (difference between the levels of roads are very strong), but be aware of their presence, otherwise you can wind it kokretno route. In general, then they are equal and very necessary kind of urban transport.
30. Type one of the Genoese funiculars (Zecca) inside.
31. Local style signs on bus stops.
32. There is also a subway, rather gloomy and blizkozalegayuschee to the ground. Do not show pictures really did not work - but it would have made a separate series, the type of Milan.
33. Building-iron, as in St. Petersburg.
34. The central administrative area of them. Ferrari, with the theater and the regional government of Liguria (it is in the picture). Guy on a horse invite readers to guess themselves, with one attempt.
35. A very beautiful building, which I, alas, was too lazy to take pictures in more detail. Actually, there continue to start new Genoa - which built during the boom of the last third of the XIX century and beginning of XX-th. I examined her more superficial than the Port and the old.
36. Illustration of Genoa relief (Via Assarotti). It is then customary norm, not a diversion.
37. Via Assarotti climbed per mile, and looks at the nearby neighborhoods with 80-meter height.
38. Neighborhoods with large height differences connects a large number of compounds of this plan here. However, they can not always go through - some end at the intermediate homes and do not lead down. Then break off, with a slight annoyance materkom go upstairs and look for another loophole connection.
39. For a small illustration of the New Genoa beginning XX century - a perspective street. On September 20.
40. Common style of houses, apparently fit to experience prolonged heat.
Genoa, I showed a dotted, and in the next series - the city with the railway side. Brignole railway station, inter-city narrow-gauge railway, and perhaps there is add a little aquarium. Let's see ...
be continued.
