COASTLINES OF EUROPE FROM THE SKY | Italy: Genoa, Historic Port and Mediterranean Lights

#documentary #italy #genoa

Born on a hillside plunging into the sea, Genoa is one of Europe’s oldest ports and the stronghold of a powerful maritime empire in the 15th century. It is also the birthplace of Christopher Columbus.

Today, more than 750,000 people live in this bustling city, which has become Italy’s leading commercial port. Here, giant ships still dock in the very heart of the city, making Genoa one of the last European cities where the port has not been moved to the outskirts.

Beyond the constant flow of ships, the city has preserved its narrow alleys, colorful facades, and that uniquely Italian light. An aerial journey revealing the beauty and diversity of the Ligurian coastline.
