What people say

"Built in the late 19th century, Via XX Settembre commemorates the "Breaching of Porta Pia," a pivotal event in Italian unification. It replaced two older streets, Via Giulia and Via della Consolazione.
One of Via XX Settembre's most striking features is its long arcades. These sheltered walkways are adorned with mosaic floors, decorated ceilings, and unique architectural elements like triforas (three-part windows) in the Neo-Gothic style.Lined with shops and offices, Via XX Settembre is a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Upscale stores offering established brands mingle with art galleries and elegant historical buildings. The street is also divided by the Ponte Monumentale, a bridge showcasing a shift in architectural styles from the classical facades below to more modern structures above."

"La Via XX Settembre is an emblematic street in downtown Genoa, with stores, cafés & restaurants. Spanning just under a kilometer. It passes through Portoria (from Piazza De Ferrari to Ponte Monumentale) and San Vincenzo (from Ponte Monumentale to Via Cadorna, near Piazza della Vittoria). "

"Start the morning by walking up Via XX Settembre. It’s lined with clothing shops, gelaterias, and young folks galore. Even if you don’t plan to make a purchase, I recommend strolling down this street to experience the lively vibe and a peak into “real” Genovese life."
