Often overlooked by its more glamorous neighbors, Rome and Venice, Genoa is a splendid hilly city in Northern Italy. One of Europe's most intact old cities is Genoa, which was once the most important Mediterranean port. The art and architecture of Genoa and nearby Portofino are perfect cruise destinations. A roundabout way Genoa influenced America is that Columbus was born there. Columbus brought European attention to the New World after establishing contact with it in 1492. The word "jean" comes from Genoa, where a cotton corduroy fabric was popular, and weavers tried to copy it in Nimes, France but came up with twill instead. Blue jeans are derived from the fabric produced in Genoa, where the word "denim" originates. Travel to Genoa or nearby Portofino on your own cruise to explore this marvelous Italian gem.
