    The only church of the Genoese Renaissance, the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta in Carignano was designed starting in 1549 by the Perugian architect Galeazzo Alessi, who conceived it as a grandiose noble church for the noble Sauli family. Its position, on the Carignano hill, makes it one of the most recognizable elements of the city and the most fascinating viewpoint in Genoa. Discover the history of this architectural jewel, an expression of the largest, wealthiest and most cultured society of Renaissance and then Baroque Genoa and reach the ancient panoramic walkways - never open to the public until now - which characterize it, to admire the territory, from the Lanterna up to to the Portofino promontory.
