Corso Italia, Coastal promenade in Albaro district, Genoa, Italy
The 2.5-kilometer promenade stretches along the Ligurian Sea, connecting the neighborhoods of Foce and Boccadasse through wide walking paths.
The construction of Corso Italia began in 1909 as part of the development plan for Albaro district, transforming narrow cliff paths into a modern waterfront.
The Nuovo Lido beach resort gained recognition in the 1950s when it hosted Miss Italia contests, featuring future cinema star Sophia Loren.
Multiple bus lines, including number 31 from Brignole station and 42 from Piazza De Ferrari, provide direct access to the promenade.
The San Giuliano Abbey from 1282 and the Punta Vagno lighthouse from 1931 mark significant points along this Mediterranean coastal route.
