Sfczglieno Cemetery GENOA Occasionally we'd come to a rather stately building that was probably one time a house of nobility, now maybe an office or municipal building, there we could peek through courtyards at a glimpse of gardens and fountains that at one time were perhaps the back yard of a wealthy mer. chant family. Not far away is the Piazza de Ferrari, the financial center of this city which is, above all, one of commerce, and stretching away from it is the Via XX Septembre, a wide boulevard flanked by houses of trade, fashionable shops, theaters, and coffee houses Q which serve among other drinks, coffeeb. Some of the more adventurous among us took the funic- ular, an old rattling cable line to the Righi, which overlooks the city and the neighboring hills. There we could see sev- eral old forts which wer-e outposts protecting the city from invasion. Below us lay the huge, beautiful Staglieno, the city's cemetery, with the mausoleum of Mazzini. Many of us used Genoa as a jumping off place for Milan, the Queen City of the Italian North, for Florence, Venice, and Pisa, the artistic and architectural miracles of Italy, and for the famed ski spot, Sestiere. Whatever we did and wherever we went, we found that Genoa was a pleasant and happy indication that the Mediterranean cruise would be one we'd enjoy and remember for a long time. Pantheon
