Passeggiata di Nervi, Coastal promenade in Nervi district, Genoa, Italy
The two-kilometer promenade extends from Nervi's small port to Capolungo, following the rocky coastline of the Ligurian Sea with views toward Portofino.
The pathway originated in 1823 as a route for fishermen and farmers, with construction of the current promenade starting in 1862 under Marquis Gaetano Gropallo's direction.
The promenade received its current name in 1945 to honor Anita Garibaldi, and connects several museums including the Modern Art Gallery and Raccolte Frugone.
Access ladders along the path lead to swimming spots and fishing areas, while the walkway provides direct connections to local parks and historic villas.
The sixteenth-century Gropallo tower, formerly part of the coastal defense system against pirates, now serves as headquarters for local associations.
