What to do and see in Pegli, Liguria: The Best Things to do
Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is a bit like solving a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and a perimeter lined with historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges the Teatro Carlo Felice, which was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse is vision of pink and yellow buildings that brighten up this lovely fishing village.

The Renaissance villa of Giovanni Andrea Doria houses the maritime collections of Genoa and the Rivieras, ranging from the 15th to the 19th century. Visitors can admire precious maps, paintings, drawings, ship models, construction and navigation tools, and “visit” the old shipyards and workshops of the maritime world. Of great significance are the stories of material culture by Ligurian sailors and shipwrights. In recent years, the museum has established itself as a veritable cultural arena of Genoa’s Ponente, a meeting place for Associations offering a rich program of art exhibitions, and cultural and social events.

Discover the wonder inside you in the spectacular esoteric park of Villa Durazzo Pallavicini! The Pallavicini Park of Pegli was built between 1840 and 1846. Designed by architect Michele Canzio, at the behest of Marquis Ignazio Alessandro Pallavicini, it is an outstanding example of an Italian and European romantic historical garden. A unique aspect of this garden spread over 8 hectares of hills is its theatrical structure featuring esoteric and Masonic nuances and making every visit a historical, cultural and botanical experience steeped in meditation, philosophy and panoramic scenes. A walk through the park offers views abounding with lakes, streams, waterfalls, garden buildings and furnishings, rare plants, the most ancient collection of camellias, glimpses of views and ‘scenic tricks’ capable of seizing the external scenery and of almost endlessly stretching the borders of this “magical” place. Services: bistro, special guided visits, audio guides in 6 languages

The Museum is about the Ligurian ancient past; this land was a crossroad of people and cultures, moving between Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. You can meet the Cave Bear, who lived here 80,000 years ago, during the Ice Age, and some people from the Paleolithic, buried in the caves close to Genoa. One of this people is called The Young Prince, even though he is 23,000 years old, and his grave goods are very rich and particular. After, you can find the evidences of who lived in Genoa, over 2,500 years ago, or in the trade routes, between Etruscan area and Marseille; red-figure pottery, bronzes from Etruria, alabaster vases and glasses vases from East Mediterranean. The exhibition continues with “Tavola del Polcevera”, linked with the bloody events of the Roman Conquest of Liguria and its towns, Luni, Tortona and Libarna. Last but not least you can see the collection of Greek and Roman materials, owned by the Prince Odone di Savoia and the mummy of Pasherienaset, an Egyptian priest of the 6th century b.C., and his “living image”, the little statue of him.
