Cogoleto

Few towns in Liguria have a history as closely tied to the local tradition naming Christopher Columbus as a native son as Cogoleto. This coastal commune lies on the Ligurian Sea west of Genoa, where beaches and the railway occupy a narrow strip between the water and wooded slopes. Inland, its territory reaches into Beigua Regional Natural Park, a protected Apennine area that gives this section of coast a distinctly mountainous setting. Cogoleto’s Columbus association is commemorated locally, while focaccia remains a familiar part of Ligurian food culture.
