\"Acquasola\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Acquasola esplanade<\/strong> rests on a hill overlooking the center of Genoa<\/strong>, extending from\u00a0Piazza Corvetto\u00a0to the monumental bridge above Via Venti Settembre<\/strong> (go to route 6), between the ancient district of Portoria and that of\u00a0Carignano<\/strong><\/a>. Today it is home to one of the largest public gardens in the city, the Acquasola Park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numerous significant historical events in the city of Genoa are linked to the Acquasola: the area where it stands was the site of a part of the ancient 14th-century walls, then became part of the infamous Devil’s Wood where ancient pagan rites were practiced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later it became a debris dumping area during the construction of Strada Nuova (Via Garibaldi<\/a><\/strong>), then a crossbow men’s exercise field, home to craft shops, tapestry factories, foundries and then a mass grave for the dead of the black plague in 1656-57, the same epidemic recounted in the Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni. It is also said that, in the first half of the 19th century, the\u00a0Carboneria\u00a0group<\/strong>, of which Giuseppe Mazzini<\/a><\/strong> belonged, gathered at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 19th century, the esplanade and its park reached their maximum splendor thanks to the civic architect Carlo Barabino, who designed a new urban park, so beautiful that it was mentioned by characters such as Dickens, Flaubert and Stendhal, who traveled to the Ligurian capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After gradually losing importance during the twentieth century, the Acquasola Park<\/strong> is now affected by a disputed renewal project, which should lead to the creation of an underground car park and a restyling of the gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
