Corso Italia, Coastal promenade in Albaro district, Genoa, Italy

Corso Italia is a coastal promenade in Genoa's Albaro district that stretches along the Ligurian Sea, connecting different neighborhoods. The wide walking path runs between the waterfront and the city, offering views across the water throughout the route.

Corso Italia was built between 1909 and 1915 to a design by engineer Dario Carbone, under the 1906 development plan for Albaro, which had been annexed to Genoa in 1873. The route required cutting away the cliffs that closed the Albaro hill to the sea, and with them went the small seafront churches, including the old parish church of Santi Nazario e Celso; only the San Giuliano Abbey remains. The original plan to continue the promenade past Boccadasse and Vernazzola was dropped after residents opposed it, so the road turns inland at the church of Sant'Antonio.

Corso Italia became Genoa's Sunday strolling route soon after its completion, and it remains the city's promenade. The Nuovo Lido beach resort hosted the Miss Italia selection in the 1950s, where Sophia Loren was named Miss Lido. The route ends near the fishing village of Boccadasse, whose church of Sant'Antonio marks the point where the road turns inland.

Corso Italia runs about 2.5 km from Foce to the slope above Boccadasse, with the seaward footpath separated from the roadway by a cycle lane added in 2022. Bus 31 leaves from Brignole railway station and bus 42 from Piazza De Ferrari. The route ends at the church of Sant'Antonio di Boccadasse, where the road turns inland as via Felice Cavallotti.

Along the route stand historic landmarks such as the San Giuliano Abbey from the 13th century and the Punta Vagno lighthouse. These sites show how the coastline evolved over the centuries and were later incorporated into the modern walking path.
