An Expat Life on the Ligurian Coast

A bustling port town, Genoa is a city of contrasts with beautiful old architecture dating from its days as a maritime empire contrasting with more modern industrial and docking buildings. Extensive regeneration has led to many of the formerly run-down parts of the city being given a fresh lease of life and visitors won't want for fashionable eateries, galleries, or bars. As a major economic center of the north-east of Italy, along with Milan and Turin, there are plenty of industries that attract foreign workers, from shipbuilding to electronics, so you're sure to find plenty of like-minded people.
