Q. I am going to a conference in Genoa, Italy, next month and am thinking of extending my stay to explore for a few days. Is it worthwhile tourism destination? - S. Fraser
A. Genoa (Genova in Italian) was a powerful port and banking city, even before the rise of the Roman Empire and an independent city-state during the Middle Ages. Today it is the capital of Liguria region and a popular port of call on cruise itineraries. Given its long and splendid history, it is certainly worth exploring.
