City in the north-west of Italy, hometown of Christopher Columbus, Niccolò Paganini, Giuseppe Mazzini, Pietro Germi, Vittorio Gassman, Fabrizio De André, Ivano Fossati. Famous for pesto and blue jeans (from "bleu de Gênes", lit. "blue of Genoa"). Largest port of Italy and home of the first football team in the country, Genoa Football & Cricket Club, founded in 1893. Stunningly beautiful city inhabited by proud, highly unsociable people. The Genovese invented the first bank and the first pawnshop in the Western world.
