ABSTRACT - Since the beginning of the nineties Genoa has hosted major international events: the World football in 1990, the Columbus celebrations in 1992, the G8 Summit in 2001 until you come to be designated European Capital of Culture in 2004. The ability to put together the financing related to these extraordinary events in of an overall strategy to upgrade its urban image, has helped change the face of the city. A process of gradual transformation of the main public spaces and the most important cultural event in the city that spawned a sort of leverage also against private entrepreneurial initiative. Now we can speak of "Genoa model" to define the set of strategies (planning, financial, economic, social) that led, over two decades, the city from the brink of a profound crisis of a small industrial reflectors circuit of European cities. Today, some urban areas, to start from the old port of Renzo Piano, are one of the Italian cities of Genoa projected more towards the international dimension that until a few years ago we sought in the streets of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bor Berlin, rather than on the streets of London or Paris. At a time like this where many scholars have undertaken to analyze the success of this phenomenon, this book will look back "behind the scenes" of Genoa European capital of culture, away from the spotlight of the Expo, Aquarius or treasures Palazzo Ducale, going to "browse" among the lesser-known corners of its outskirts. The result is a rich of interesting points, reflections in some ways unexpected, a suburb that takes into context different from those of other major Italian cities. ( continues )
