Genoa is getting a brand-new way to explore its rich literary history. A fresh initiative called “Di Genova in Genova. Percorsi d’autore in città” recently debuted at the Book Pride event, promising to connect locals and visitors with the authors who left their mark on the city. It’s a creative approach to tourism that turns the streets into a living library.
The project kicks off with a special focus on the Nobel Prize-winning poet Eugenio Montale. By highlighting the specific corners of the city that inspired his work, organizers hope to deepen everyone’s appreciation for Genoa’s cultural legacy. It is a wonderful way to see the city through the eyes of its most famous writers, offering a deeper connection to the places we often walk past without a second thought.
