	Genoa Encyclopedia Article @ Leaned.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Genoa (Italian: Genova, Genoese: Zena) is a city and a seaport in northern Italy, the capital of the Province of Genoa and of the region of Liguria.
		Through Genoese participation on the Crusades, colonies were established in the Mideast, in the Aegean, in Sicily and Northern Africa.
		Although the Genoese revolted against France in 1814 and liberated the city on their own, delegates at the Congress of Vienna sanctioned its incorporation into Piedmont (Kingdom of Sardinia), thus ending the three century old struggle by the House of Savoy to acquire the city.

	Genoese dialect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Genoese (Zeneize) is the variety of the ligurian language spoken in Genoa, the capital city of Liguria (Italy).
		It is officially and unappropriately often referred to as an italian dialect, mostly for political reasons, even though it doesn't belong to the same family as the Italian language.
		Starting from the 13th century, there has been a continuous literary production in Genoese; this was not sufficient, however, to see the development of a regularized spelling.

		Dialect literature has ancient traditions in Liguria in verse and prose: notable documents between the twelfth century and then the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth of a vernacular speech that is more closely related to Provençal than with modern Genoese.
		Poetry in dialect is one with poetry in Italian, it has no quarrel with it, and it addresses not the speakers of one dialect or another, but the general readers of poetry, while the new dialect poets usually write in Italian as well.
		A notable contribution to the latest dialect poetry of Liguria has been made, and continues to be made, by the two "horns" of the Riviera, the eastern and the western.

		Calvi was built by the Genoese on the northwestern coast of Corsica in 1268 and populated by Genoese families.
		Genoese was the commonly used language, as we can see in the fact that speeches at the senate of the republic were given and transcribed by the chancellors in Genoese.
		It is up for discussion then, whether Genoese is a "dialect" of Italian in the proper sense of the word, or whether it is not instead a mixture of Italian and Provencal components with other originally and exclusively Ligurian elements, with the intrusion of some clearly Arabic terms.

	Firpo
		In his drab life, spent almost entirely in Genoa (apart from his wanderings on the Riviera and the Genoese hinterland), the most significant episode was the arrest on the part of the fascists and Germans in March 1945, after the censors intercepted one of his letters.
		A profoundly Genoese poet, Firpo is not the poet of Genoa but of minimal events, the skylark in the sky, the swaying blade of grass, the butterfly drowning in the sea.
		Genoa is at most a pulsation of lights in the distance, or the Lantern seen by the sailing ship; because he recognizes himself in enormous or infinitesimal things, the sky, the sea or the plume of a thistle, the swallow grazing the water of a fountain.

		The creation of this street was part of a very important urban restructuring: it diverges a lot from the traditional Genoese street, with the rows of houses built right next to one another and intersected by alleyways descending towards the sea.
		The New Street resulted from a new conception of straight and wide street, pure expression of the straight line ideal; its width had to be proportionate to the height of the buildings, all standing at some distance from one another, while fabulous gardens were built behind the palaces.
		In 1889 it was donated by the Galliera family to the Genoese Town Council, which made it into a Museum-Art Gallery.

	Bakaliaros Tighanitos me Skordalia (Greece) Batter-Fried Salt Cod with Skordalia
		A nearly identical preparation of batter-fried salt cod is made in Genoa called baccalà all’aglio, or frisciêu (fritter) in the local Genoese dialect.
		And the Genoese also have a garlic sauce reminiscent of the Greek skordalia derived from the old garlic sauce called agliata, that has its origins in the aïoli of Marseilles (and the allioli of Barcelona).
		Although Genoese mercantile companies played a role in medieval Greece, we don’t know if the similarity of these culinary preparations is due to that contact or if it is merely serendipitous.

		An old Ligurian folk song, a Ligurian 'national anthem', in Genoese dialect, "the hammock between the trees is for resting from evening to morn", has brought tears to the eyes of several Ligurian generations.
		Love of the land and fear of the sea is also confirmed by the saying "until the evil (in Genoese the same word means sea) doesn't become good".
		It is enough to meet sailors and fishermen to realise how they prefer their garden up the hills overlooking the sea, in which they have greater pride in being able to boust of their early broad beans, the first figs, the olive harvest, or the quality of their wine, than in catching a large fish.

	Tribute to Fabrizio De Andrè
		His career as a songwriter and performer began in the late fifties, under the strong influence of the French chansonniers, especially Georges Brassens (1921-1981), whose songs he admirably translated into Italian and sung together with his first own songs.
		In 1984 Fabrizio de André turns to his native Genoese dialect and writes, together with Mauro Pagani, one of his most celebrated albums, "Creuza de mä".
		In 1989 Fabrizio de André marries Dori Ghezzi; the following year a new album is issued, "Le Nuvole" ("Clouds"), which includes two more songs in the Genoese dialect, one in the Gallurese dialect of Northern Sardinia ("Monti di Mola") and one in the Neapolitan dialect ("Don Raffaè").

	Storia di Alessandria e del Monferrato
		Novi in fact held the leading status in the Genoese republic, in the Po plain area; being the provincial capital of the Oltregiogo district (the area between the Ovada and Tortona districts, consisting in the middle Scrivia valley, as well as the Lemme and Borbera valleys).
		This accounts for the strong Ligurian influence over the Novi area, such as the local dialect which still retains many aspects of the Genoese dialect, despite the different intonation.
		This boom period continued for an extended period of time, and in fact Novi escaped the plague of the 1600’s (known as that of Manzoni); and for this the church of the Collegiate of S. Maria of the Assumption was built as a token of gratitude.

		With the publication, in 1984, of LP Creuza de Mä, sung in Genoese dialect, De André promoted the value of Italian oral languages and introduced the use of almost disappeared Mediterranean instruments.

	Marenostrum
		San Pietro, little more than a rock not far from the south-western end of Sardinia, is inhabited by the descendants of a group of Genoese people who in 1798 left Tabarka, an island a few hundred metres off the Tunisian coast, which they had colonised two centuries before.
		The new village, called Carloforte, saw its population increase thanks to the arrival of fishermen from Neaples and, later, of neighbouring inhabitants of Sulcis, called, not by chance, “maureddus”, from the Moors.
		The lyrics are in Italian and in Carloforte's dialect (“Tabarkino”, a dialect of Genoese origin), flexible and rich in all the sounds that its sea-faring people brought home from their travels all over the world.
