Some background information<br />
<strong>Genova</strong> - 631.443 inhabitants and 240,45 km 2 – is at the<br />
top of the Ligurian Sea, on the northernmost point of the<br />
western Mediterranean. The long strip of the City of<br />
<strong>Genova</strong> extends over 34 kilometres of coast from west to<br />
east, from Voltri to Nervi. <strong>Genova</strong> boasts a mild climate of<br />
Mediterranean type (average temperature 16,6°C), with<br />
warm, dry summers (average temperature 24,6°C) and<br />
mild winters (average temperature 8,6°C).<br />
After a phase of economic and demographic decline, we<br />
are witnessing a period of recovery and exponential<br />
growth of traffic and the role of the port. In fact, the port is<br />
once again the most important in the Mediterranean, the<br />
place of commercial and industrial activities, but also the<br />
point of arrival and passing point for tourism.<br />
<strong>Genova</strong>, above all, has two football teams. Sampdoria is<br />
probably the more renowned, but it is also the posh team,<br />
mainly supported by people who are not originally from<br />
<strong>Genova</strong>. Genoa, on the other hand, is the oldest football<br />
team in Italy, being founded by the British back in 1893,<br />
and its image fully reflects the character of people from<br />
<strong>Genova</strong>.<br />

Nightlife - Can you remember what happened last year…?<br />
Friday 13 th May<br />
<strong>Genova</strong> - Historic Centre<br />
Our last match is likely to finish at 21.30hrs<br />
approximately. A pizza by the beach and then<br />
straight into our Friday night. <strong>Genova</strong> has the<br />
biggest historic centre in Europe and it is very<br />
easy to get lost in it. You will find yourself in a<br />
labyrinth of narrow streets crowded of lively and<br />
busy bars.<br />
A good club next to our hotel should satisfy those<br />
who haven’t had enough after the bar crawl…<br />

Saturday 14 th May<br />
Ronco Scrivia<br />
Our last match is due to finish at 22.30hrs<br />
approximately. We have been invited to dinner by<br />
the U.S. Locatelli teams in a very typical trattoria<br />
genovese. Here you will enjoy all the typical food<br />
and wine of Liguria.<br />
Monumento Bar<br />
A nice bar right by the beach where we can enjoy<br />
some good chill-out music and get in the right<br />
mood to spend a warm summer night as the<br />
genovesi do.<br />
