Friends, Alan Cornett, host of the Cultural Debris Podcast is joining me to host a Cultural Debris Excursion to Genoa in Autumn 2022. This is a small group (6 guests plus the two hosts), highly curated  excursion that will explore the cultural debris of Genoa, Italy. This is a nearly completely missed jewel of Italy and of Mediterranean culture.

We will stay in very tastefully appointed rooms in Renaissance era palazzos which have been converted to wonderful B&Bs by our friends Elena and Fanny, who will be creating beautiful and tasty breakfasts each day for our group.

Each day will be carefully curated to take in some specific aspect of culture, from the walls of the Genovese Republic on the mountains above the city, to the multitude of breathtaking churches in the old city center, to the 11th Century Abbey of San Fruttuoso in a blue water cove available only by water taxi or moderate hike, to small museums with rich collections of art, to the Mediterranean Maritime Museum.

Each evening the group will dine together at one of Genoa’s local restaurants that are truly local. No tourist traps. Fresh foccacia, fresh pesto that Genoa is famous for, and farinata which you can travel throughout Italy a dozen times and not taste outside Genoa. And seafood lovers will find delicious dinners of fish fresh from that day’s market.

We are taking this small group from Oct 22nd-29th. We are considering adding a second group the following week as we are receiving a lot of interest.

Price includes breakfast and dinner each day, wine each evening with dinner, all tour tickets and train fares to any local destinations,. Guests will have one free day to explore on their own. Airfare is up to the guests which allows guests to fly from any gateway and choose their own class of service.
