Closing Remarks
The Venue: Piazza De Ferrari is the main square of
Genoa.
GENOVA (GENOA)
Genoa has been nicknamed la Superba ("the Proud one")
due to its glorious past and impressive landmarks. Part of
the old town of Genoa was inscribed on the World
Heritage List (UNESCO) in 2006. The city's rich art, music,
gastronomy, architecture and history allowed it to become
the 2004 European Capital of Culture. It is the birthplace of
Christopher Columbus.
Genoa, which forms the southern corner of the MilanTurin-Genoa industrial triangle of north-west Italy, is one
of the country’s major economic centres. The city has
hosted massive shipyards and steelworks since the 19th
century, and its solid financial sector dates back to the
Middle Ages. The Bank of Saint George, founded in 1407, is
among the oldest in the world and has played an
important role in the city’s prosperity since the middle of
the 15th century. Today a number of leading Italian
companies are based in the city, including Fincantieri,
Ansaldo Energia, Ansaldo STS, Edoardo Raffinerie Garrone
and Piaggio Aero.
Situated in the heart of the city between the historical and
the modern center, Piazza De Ferrari is renowned for its
fountain, which was restored in recent years along with a
major restyling of the square.
Today next to Piazza De Ferrari are numerous office
buildings, headquarters of banks, insurances and other
private companies, making of this district the financial
and business centre of Genoa, so that Genoeses popularly
refer to it as the "City" of Genoa.
At the end of the 19th century Genoa was the main
financial centre of Italy along with Milan, and Piazza De
Ferrari was the place where many institutions were
established, like the stock exchange (built in in 1912 by
the architect Alfredo Coppedè), the Credito Italiano
(today Unicredit) the branch offices of the Bank of Italy,
founded in 1893.
