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
I have the feeling that this entire city would be banned in the USA for serious violations of safety codes. Hundreds of thousands of people crammed into these old buildings with very narrow streets, way too narrow for emergency vehicles like fire engines, and ambulances. Is there sufficient water plugs/outlets available throughout the city for fire engines to hook up easily to put our fires? Italian American, ancestors in Florence.
Italians use wood very little for building construction. In Genoa there's extensive use of stone, concrete and marble, even if many buildings are 500+ years old. Floor is often "a la veneziana" (seamless coating composed by some marble and stone aggregates, mixed with pebble lime or concrete). That is very safe as far as fire is concerned.
You guys need to live , enjoy life and surrounding beauty, not to think about fire safety!! For sure in Italy we ban American food that is way more dangerous!!😂!😂😂
Most of the historic buildings you've seen pre-date 1492, are made of stone, brick and concrete and not wood and plastic. If they have resisted for centuries there must be a reason. My house dates back to the 14th century, is made of stone and brick, the wooden frame roof is covered in stone slabs (slate), and was redone in the 18th century. Still perfect.
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 ☺️🖤

5:27 - ecco , in Italia ci vorrebbero bagni e docce pubbliche ... ovunque .
French influence? Are you ok? Ahahha
😂🙈
Influenza francese 😂. È Genova che ha influenzato la costa azzurra non il contrario
Genova
4:17 - gli italiani non parlano così .

Ahhh very interesting! And makes a lot of sense 🖤
