When one thinks of Genoa, the sea comes to mind, the origin of the fortune of one of the most important maritime republics of the Middle Ages. The favorable position has allowed La Superba to be open to the world of commercial exchanges with every corner of the Mediterranean, and at the same time to be inaccessible by land as it is protected by the mountains, with the few access points manned by forts, bastions and castles.
