Old Port (Porto Antico)

The ancient port was the nerve center of the commercial and economic activities of the city of Genoa in past centuries.

On the occasion of the Colombiadi, the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America, this area of the city was completely renovated according to the project of Renzo Piano, the famous Genoese architect.
