Bricco: Culture and Historic Routes

Several cultural attractions are located in the immediate vicinity of Bricco. The Associazione Italiana Della Croce Rossa Museum is located there. The Villa Rossi Martini palace and the Collezione Wolfson - Fondazione Regionale "c. Colombo" Museum are also nearby. For an individual trip to Bricco, the cultural itinerary can focus on museums or a palace. Travelers interested in museums can plan visits to the two museums separately; those with a stronger interest in architectural history can consider Villa Rossi Martini as a destination in its own right.

San Quirico on the Polcevera

San Quirico lies on the left-hand hydrological slope of the Polcevera. The municipal route leads in San Quirico to the Baroque church of Santi Quirico e Giuditta. For travel planning, the landscape setting and the church can be considered in a separate section devoted to the area. Those wishing to combine landscape and architectural history on an individual trip can mark San Quirico as a stop with both topographical and religious significance. It remains open to you whether the landscape or the church is the starting point of your interest.

Baroque Church and Ecclesiastical Banner

A parish church named Santi Quirico e Giulitta is located at Via San Quirico 151 in Genoa. Associated with this parish is a gonfalone, that is, an ecclesiastical banner. One side depicts San Quirico and Giulitta together with San Giuseppe and San Francesco di Sales. The other side shows the Madonna del Rosario with San Domenico and Santa Caterina da Siena. For those interested in culture, the focus here is not only on the Baroque church building but also on the banner and its depictions. During a visit focused on religious art, the two sides of the banner can be viewed separately as different motifs. The parish church in Genoa and the banner can be considered as a separate religious-themed area.

Historic Routes to Castrofino

San Quirico lies along the ancient route of the Roman consular road Via Postumia. This road connected Genoa with Aquileia via the Bocchetta Pass. In the area around San Quirico, the historical connection extends to the village of Castrofino, which is identified as historic Caschifellone. Caffaro was born there around the year 1080. For travelers interested in ancient routes, the Via Postumia can stand as a subject in its own right alongside the religious sites. Those who prefer historic routes can plan this section independently of the museums around Bricco. The Via Postumia and Castrofino can therefore be included in historical planning independently of the museums around Bricco.

Public Orientation

AMT operates the San Quirico 6/Chiesa bus stop in the uphill direction. For arrival planning, the combination of the stop name and the direction indication is the specific point of reference; this does not establish the timetable or operating hours. This makes it easier to prepare for the journey geographically.
