Thanks for watching 🖤... We've travelled from North to South of Italy in this series ➡ ua-cam.com/play/PLWSjMn8f5Qgfh9vrEfhKXdGyOWEpJL3ws.html STREET FOOD TOUR IN FLORENCE ➡ ua-cam.com/video/V9vEitAO9_Q/v-deo.html
As a guy from Genoa , I confirm that most people from Liguria aren't really ..uhm... welcoming. The hostility to outsiders is a part of our tradition ("foresti" is a denigratory word for outsiders, "bauscia" is reserved for those who come from Lombardy), but many shopkeepers are also rude to Genoese themselves. (sorry for bad english)
Are people in Piemonte more friendly ? Trying to decide on where to live once I get my Italian citizenship. I want access to outdoor sports and culture too. Maybe turino (?) Grazie
The people from Liguria are stereotypical known as penny pinchers. You would not know that even the wealthiest among them are rich because they don’t show it. There is a story that back in the day when electric refrigerators came out, they sold very poorly in Liguria because the people didn’t trust that the light would go out when you closed the fridge door, and they didn’t want to waste money on keeping an extra light bulb on. I don’t know if this is true, but it’s a story I was told years ago.
Genova functions strictly as a business city centered around the port and international trade. The Genoese have never catered to tourists and outsiders and even among Italians, it is not a tourist destination. Also, the stereotype in Italy is that the Genoese are really attached to their cash, so if you're not directly improving their cash flow, they may not want to talk to you. Yes, overall a rather standoffish lot.
But also very sad that you say that as a tourist. That shows some narrow minded and short sighted approach to culture . .. I would suggest you live there before judging....

Are you half chinese and half black?
as an American, I have loved my family's times in Genoa and loved the people and had great interactions.
Definitely rocky start guys, but that's Genova, it grows inside you little by little, until you fall in love. Come back soon! Fabio from Genova!!!

😂 Thank you for the honesty! They do have a kind of 'off' charm about them! We warmed to them in the end... it just took some getting use to ☺️🖤
+colabrodo : i bauscioni sono solo i milanesi .

I like how you decided you hate it as soon as you arrived. Give it a minute, jeez lol
Def stiff in that part but still lovely 🇮🇹
It was really strange Daniel!! Especially coming from Florence... felt like we were in Germany (No offence 🇩🇪). By the end... it won us over ☺️🖤

Ahhh very interesting! And makes a lot of sense 🖤

Genova
French influence? Are you ok? Ahahha
😂🙈
Influenza francese 😂. È Genova che ha influenzato la costa azzurra non il contrario
😂
