Arenzano

Arenzano is a coastal town and comune within the province of Genoa, Liguria, Italy. Since 2007[update], it carries a population of 11,568. This varies a good deal during the holiday conditions, since it is a reasonably popular holiday hotel for Italians.

There are a number of festivals during the summer months, as with many areas in Italy. It is extremely close to Genoa (the particular capital town of the actual province). The town is safe for children to grow up, but buying a family house there can be very costly. During the summer time period Arenzano becomes crowded. Arenzano has an grade school, a middle school and also a couple of kindergartens. Furthermore , it has a golf training and a few tennis games courts.

Main sights:

    * Haven of the Infant Jesus of Prague.
    * The 18th century parish church.
    * Villa Negrotto Cambiaso, a Genoese patrician villa built in the 16th century. Now it's the town hall. It provides a beautiful park, endowed along with rare trees like Lebanon cedars and Araucarias.
    * The Saracens' System (16th century), built in order to avoid sudden incursions of angry from Maghreb.
    * Sanctuary in our Lady of the Olivette.
