About Foce
What are the main landmarks in Foce?
Five entries, four of them churches. Santi Pietro e Bernardo alla Foce, Nostra Signora Assunta e Santa Zita, Santa Maria dei Servi and Santi Nazario e Celso account for the parishes, and the Monumento al fante accounts for the rest. Genoa's heavier sights sit elsewhere.
For a quarter of this size, a monument and four dedications are the whole of the record.
What is the history of Foce?
Foce comes down as a list of dedications rather than a chronology, with Santi Pietro e Bernardo alla Foce, Nostra Signora Assunta e Santa Zita, Santa Maria dei Servi and Santi Nazario e Celso the names the record keeps. The Monumento al fante joins them. Administratively the quarter belongs to the VIII Municipio, sharing that council with Albaro and San Martino d'Albaro.
