'Landscape & Local Story'

 

Boccadasse 📍, a former fishing village now part of Genoa, is one of the most picturesque corners of the Ligurian coast. Nestled in a small bay at the eastern end of the city’s Corso Italia promenade, it charms visitors with its cluster of pastel-colored houses huddled tightly around a pebbly beach. Fishing boats still rest on the shore, while narrow alleys climb between the old buildings, opening onto terraces with views of the Mediterranean. Despite being close to the bustle of Genoa, Boccadasse retains the intimate, timeless atmosphere of a seaside hamlet.

'...Local life and legend enrich its charm. The name “Boccadasse” is said to derive from bocca d’asino, “donkey’s mouth”, a reference to the shape of the bay.

With its mix of history, legend, and vibrant coastal life, Boccadasse is both a living village and a storybook glimpse of Liguria’s soul...'
