Images of Italy: Genova
by Jackie Goyette

But then there are the other parts: a long boulevard dedicated to palaces and galleries that you might not have even found if you hadn't turned the right corner, piazzas with large, spouting fountains, frescoes painted on random corners celebrating the patron saint of this neighborhood or that one. Genova is a place to be discovered, its food to be savoured, its evenings to be spent watching the sun set beyond the black and white striped duomo.  more...


Montreal Montage: A Photojournal
