Pegli

The neighborhood extends along the western coastline of Genoa, featuring a promenade lined with palaces, gardens, and beaches facing the Ligurian Sea.

Originally named Pyla Veituriorum by the Ligurian tribe of Veturii, Pegli remained an independent municipality until its merger with Genoa in 1926.

Four public parks and numerous historical villas from the 16th century demonstrate the architectural evolution of noble Genoese families, particularly the Lomellini dynasty.

The quarter connects to central Genoa through multiple transportation options, including regular train services, water buses, and local bus routes.

In the 16th century, three hundred families from Pegli relocated to Tabarca island for coral fishing, creating a distinct dialect that their descendants maintain.
