Magenta-Crocco elevator, Public elevator in Castelletto district, Genoa, Italy.

The Magenta-Crocco elevator connects Corso Magenta with Via Antonio Crocco through two cars that transport 30 passengers across a 49-meter vertical distance.

The elevator construction began in 1929 by Officine Meccaniche Stigler, and the Municipality of Genoa acquired it upon its official opening in 1933.

The elevator forms part of an integrated transportation network alongside the Sant'Anna funicular, reflecting Genoa's approach to vertical mobility solutions.

The journey between levels takes 40 seconds at a speed of 1.8 meters per second, with access through a pedestrian tunnel from Corso Magenta.

A connecting passage leads to a small private elevator accessing the Antica Farmacia Sant'Anna, housed within the Sant'Anna Convent complex.
