"It’s dusk as we stagger, dripping, into Piazza Navona. The black cobbles look damp with perspiration. The ancient buildings, their facades washed in wonderful shades of orange, ochre and red, appear to be sagging in the heat. My two year-old..."

Genoa
"This is a tale of two cities. The first grew up around a working port, wharves and all. Behind the harbour, in the steep, narrow lanes of the old town, stray dogs wander past groups of over-painted women (“Vieni qua, bello!”), cobblers jostle for..."
