“CIV” stands for “Centri Integrati di Via”, which translates as Integrated Street Centers. They represent an innovative model in the small-scale distribution network, contributing to the economic vitality and vibrancy of local areas.
These centres combine the positive aspects of other common forms of aggregation: they follow the criterion of territoriality from street associations and the aim of creating solid bonds from Consortiums. CIVs are a network of businesses and activities located in a well-defined perimeter that is established together with the municipality.

Exploring the historical centres of Genoa and Liguria

Genoa wants to be wooed. Whether it’s just a quick date or a long-term relationship, if you want to really uncover her treasures, you must approach her with tact and curiosity. Amidst the charming shops, you’ll stumble upon magnificent paintings in hidden churches, catch glimpses of intricate wrought-iron gates, discover secret gardens, or listen to the soothing sounds of water gurgling from ancient fountains. Surrendering to these enchanting moments will transform you from a mere tourist into a true traveller who understands and appreciates the austere yet benevolent soul of Genoa. Surrounded by the allure of the Riviera and its hinterland, Genoa will win you over with its romantic walks, such as the delightful cliffside promenade in Nervi, silent witness to countless love stories, or the historic porticoes in Chiavari, adorned with Art Nouveau shop signs, the perfect backdrop for a leisurely “aperitivo” steeped in history. Those seeking a taste of nature’s delights can venture to the artisan brewery in Busalla, nestled amidst the rugged hinterland and the Brugneto dam, where mushrooms and chestnuts paint the landscape in autumn.
