Genoa is Italy's principal port city and one of the Mediterranean's most historic maritime republics. Turin is a city of grand palaces, sophisticated culture, and genuine Italian character in the north. The city's UNESCO World Heritage status reflects the significance of its palaces, churches, and historic buildings, many of which remain integral to daily life and culture.
