Port of Genoa - 1907. GGA Image ID # 17552a78e8
Genoa is the capital of Liguria and the sixth largest city in Italy. Genoa forms the southern corner of the Milan-Turin-Genoa industrial triangle of north-west Italy. In the late 19th century and the early 20th century, Genoa consolidated its role as a major seaport and an important steel and shipbuilding center.
In Genoa, Italy, the passenger liners land at a quay, a short distance from the principal hotels that occupy the point on the high bluffs overlooking the hay and the blue Mediterranean.

The trans-Atlantic liners on arriving at Genoa proceed directly to the landing pier (Ponte Federico Guglielmo), where passengers disembark. Baggage is expeditiously removed from the ship to the Customs examination shed on the pier, where passengers will claim their baggage.
The Customs officials usually inspect one or two packages and accept the passenger's declaration that no tobacco, cigars (which are prohibited), liquors, or new clothing are contained in the baggage. At the railroad office in the Customs sheds, travelers can purchase tickets and have their baggage checked. There is also a bonded storeroom, where baggage can be stored in bond.
