The territory of the Municipality
of Genoa spreads over 243 sq km, and consists of a thin
coastal belt at whose shoulders stand hills and mountains, some
of which of remarkable height.
The coastline from Vesima to Capolungo, is about 42 km long
and is oriented towards ESE by WNW. Excluding the small hamlets
of Vesima and Crevari, Genoa geographically belongs to the “Riviera
di Levante” (Eastern Riviera). Halfway between Vesima
and Capolungo opens the natural amphitheatre of the harbour
of Genoa, surrounded on the west side by the “collina
di San Benigno” (hill of San Benigno), partially demolished
during Fascist era to enlarge the harbour area), and on the
east by the hill which from Carignano rises to up to Righi joining,
at the Forte Sperone, the San Benigno one. Outside of the two
buttresses flow the two main streams of the city: the Bisagno
on east side, which ends its race in the Foce area; and the
Polcevera on west side, which separates Sampierdarena and Cornigliano.
In this way five zones are outlined: the town centre, the Valpolcevera;
the Valbisagno; the West Side and the East Side.
