Genova Church

Hidden along the long and narrow streets are all of the unique historic landmarks that other rich European cities have. It's just that in Genova, all of these things are less obvious because they are surrounded by 4-6 story buildings. This photo is a good example of a distant church that is in the daylight in contrast to the dark and narrow passageways that surround it. The whole of Italy can be reflected in Genova alone, no need to go any further. Genova is the most traditional city in Italy and is known as the home of saints, cousins, seafarers, artists, innovators and now tourists.

Basilica di Carignano

Looking out above the bustling Genova shipyards, this renaissance church stands well above most others and it is known since 1502 as the church built of bitterness. They're Italian so that's completely normal.
