Welcome to the podcast of the Consorzio Pro Loco Genova.
There is a place in Genoa where time seems to stand still for a moment. A place where your gaze gets lost among slate roofs, bell towers, alleys, and the blue of the sea. That place is Spianata Castelletto.
To reach it, you can stroll through the elegant streets of the Castelletto district or experience something unique: take the historic Art Nouveau elevator in Piazza Portello, beloved by Genoese and tourists for over a century.
And then… suddenly, Genoa appears before your eyes.
From the Old Port to the Lighthouse, from the hills embracing the city to the open sea, Spianata Castelletto offers one of the most beautiful views in Italy.
It’s not just a viewpoint. It’s a place of the soul, where you can stop for a photograph, a romantic sunset, or simply to listen to the city’s breath.
The writer Giorgio Caproni famously described this view with these words:
“When I finally decide to go there, I’ll go to Paradise by way of the Castelletto elevator.”
If you visit Genoa, Spianata Castelletto is a must-see.
