Cogoleto, Coastal commune in Metropolitan City of Genoa, Italy.
Cogoleto stretches from the Ligurian Sea to the Beigua Mountain, encompassing both sandy beaches and forested hills within its 20 square kilometer territory.
The first documented mention of Cogoleto appeared in 1039, and the town later became part of the Republic of Genoa's territories in 1343.
The town maintains strong connections to maritime traditions through its festivals, local cuisine, and fishing activities that shape the community's daily life.
Visitors can reach Cogoleto by regional trains from Genoa, with the railway station located centrally along the main coastal road of the town.
Several 16th-century historical documents suggest Cogoleto as a potential birthplace of navigator Christopher Columbus, creating ongoing historical debates.
