St. Anthony's Church in Boccadasse
Highlight • Religious Site
Inside the Edoardo Firpo viewpoint, there is the Church of S. Antonio in Boccadasse. It was built in 1706 by Genoese fishermen and sailors who, on stormy days at sea, hung their ex-votos there, that is, small handcrafted models of ships, which are still kept in the church today.
In 1745 it became the seat of the Confraternity of S. Antonio da Padova and since 1894 it has been a parish looked after by the Friars Minor Conventual of the Franciscan Order. This is the only church in Genoa dedicated to the Saint, where on June 13 the patron saint's day is celebrated with the Procession of the Crucifix and a ceremony at sea, when the fishermen carry the statue of Saint Anthony by boat with fireworks to conclude the evening. The church houses works of art by Francesco Storace and Antonio Canepa.
The abbey, which is located at the entrance to the ancient seaside village of Boccadasse, is almost to protect and watch over the small and picturesque village of Pescatori.

Corso Italia Promenade
Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint
Fort San Giuliano and elegant art deco style condominiums and buildings overlook the upstream side, while on the sea side, in addition to the historic abbey of San Giuliano, there are several bathing establishments, whose presence however does not preclude the view towards the open sea and, in the background, the promontory of Portofino.
In 1935 Corso Italia underwent a first restyling with the arrangement of elegant flower beds, palm trees and small fountains. In the fifties of the twentieth century, some fountains with colored scenic lighting were installed in the central flowerbed, but the difficulties associated with the maintenance of these water features led to their abandonment within a few years. The course underwent a complete restoration at the end of the eighties, as part of the works carried out on the occasion of the World Cup in Italy '90 and the Colombiadi in 1992. In 2022 Corso Italia was equipped with a cycle path, located between the road and sidewalk.
