Via del Campo

جنوة

The caruggio of Prè that Fabrizio De André made famous all over Italy, between a medieval gate and the house-museum of Genoese singer-songwriters. Your treasure map begins in the heart of the old town.

Via del Campo is a paved street in the Prè district: it starts at Porta dei Vacca, the old western gateway in the 12th-century walls, and runs to piazza Fossatello. For centuries it was a street of fondaci (merchant warehouses), sailors and trade, a mirror of the most authentic harbour Genoa. In 1967 Fabrizio De André dedicated one of his most famous songs to it, written with Enzo Jannacci. At number 29 rosso, in the rooms that for years were the meeting place of Faber and his friend Gianni Tassio, the museum «Via del Campo 29 rosso» has been open since 2012: the house of Genoese singer-songwriters, with records, photos, scores and memories of Faber and the whole Genoese school of songwriting.
