The
cinque terre, breathtaking scenery between sky and sea, five fine
old villages overlooking the sea, surrounded by terraces built thousands
of years ago on which one of the most famous Ligurian wines is grown;
beautiful paths where you will respire all the perfumes of the Mediterranean
maquis, paths that were once only used for work but that are now
visited every year by thousands of people. These are the "Cinque
Terre", declared by UNESCO a patrimony of mankind, and now forming
the new National Park to ensure the best possible valorisation of
a Territory rich in geological, historical and naturalistic, traditional
and cultural features. 
An
ultra modern building located in the heart of the historic port
of Genoa houses the largest aquarium in Europe with over 50 large
tanks home to dolphins, sharks, seals, penguins and also stafish
and needle fish. Each tank in Genoa aquarium reproduces a particular
marine environment. Visit an immense and misterious living universe
put on show to the public by the aquarium of genoa. [
A
3.5 Km long headland overlooking the Ligurian sea, therefore creating
the basis for unbelievable vegetation contrasts. More than 1000
different species of plants are growing in this area. The Marine
Reserve was recently formed to protect the sea bottom below the
headland; the Abbeys of San Fruttuoso e San Nicoḷ di Capodimonte,
and the surroundings framing it to the North up to Chiavari make
this Park every year an attraction for thousands of nature-loving
visitors and scuba-divers, who may admire all the aspects of this
marvellous naturalistic laboratory
Located
in the Genoese Hinterland, this Park is wrongfully considered of
minor importance, because it has a great rural tradition and beautiful
florescences. Excursions to the Antola mountain will give you at
the same time a feeling of beauty, serenity but also of nostalgia.
As a matter of fact, many villages in the Park have been completely
abandoned as a result of the "economic boom". In some of these villages
things have been left as they were 50 years ago. It is a territory
all to discover where you may easily meet deers and does in addition
to the florescences. From the peak of the Antola, you may admire
unforgettable panoramas of the whole Alpine Arc.
This
imposing Park of the Apennines, where you can go hiking, while remaining
in view of the sea, is almost unknown despite its enormous environmental
value: not to mention The Integral Oriented Reserve of Agoraie and
Maggetto including 16 small lakes of glacial origin, its numerous
alpine endemisms, some of which are being considered as real glacial
relicts, as for instance some insectivorous plants. As everywhere
else in the Apennines, Wolves have come back in this Park and you
may trail their spoors with the aid of an expert guide. This park
has a firm rural rooting with the splendid Borzone Abbey built in
the VIII Century A.D., with its outstanding geological ophiolites,
its ancient glacial cirques, its old mines in Val Graveglia bordering
the Park but not less important.
