🇮🇹 Half a Day in Genoa, But This Blew My Mind

While everyone flocks to Rome/Venice/Florence, Genoa - Columbus' hometown & medieval maritime empire - hides the most underrated architectural gem. 🔍 My Pilgrimage: ➡️ Follow Via Garibaldi (UNESCO, like Shanghai's Jinling Rd on steroids!) ➡️ Arrive at San Lorenzo Cathedral... but the real magic lies underground. ⛪ Museo del Tesoro (Treasure Museum): Sacro Catino: That legendary "Holy Grail" from Last Supper? A mesmerizing hexagonal green glass vessel glowing in dim light. No columns: Just 4 concrete vaults supporting the space (Pantheon vibes!) Time-warp effect: Gold reliquaries, medieval chalices... each whispering 800 years of faith. 💡 Why This Matters: Genoa isn't just about ports/aquariums. This crypt proves it's Italy's deepest (literally), quietest, most architecturally profound secret. #ItalyUntold #ArchitectureLovers #HiddenGenoa
