Costa 對我們而言是個略嫌陌生的遊輪
最主要是因為沒有航線經過台灣或是美國
以歐洲航線為主的Costa另一遊輪公司 Carnival買下
所以應該有水準之上的演出
聽說最近要開台灣香港航線 應該也是一個不錯的選擇
回溯去年的Costa 旅程;
第一天從羅馬機場到了碼頭等上船,
在 Terminal 的幾個小時卻是異常的漫長,
通常開放上船是下午一點後,但是十一點多就到的我們,
在又渴又累又冷的狀態下, 真的覺得時間很難熬,
Terminal 中只有投歐元的自動販賣機, 等我睡了一覺,
又冷醒到在Terminal 慢跑了好幾圈後, 終於看到了果汁跟咖啡的攤位出來啦

《Europe.Voyage》Cruise to Eastern Mediterranean
Here is our itinerary:
Day 1
The first evidence of settlement in the area of Civitavecchia relates to the ancient town of Centocelle, once the port for Ethruria and a rich market centre. Pliny the Younger refers in his writings to Centocelle as the venue of a peace council held by the emperor Trajan.
Centocelle takes its name from the style of village houses, which resembled hives with small cells, and the tiny bays along the coast that enabled ships to come and go. Due to its sheltered surroundings and easy access to the sea, Trajan built his most extravagant villa in the vicinity, mentioned by Pliny. The basic structure of the port first developed by Trajan still remains.
When the port of Ostia at the mouth of the River Tiber became insufficient to handle the maritime traffic to Rome, Civitavecchia took its place. The distinctive shape of the port is attributed to the architect Apollodoro who decorated the original structure with engravings and statues. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Civitavecchia maintained its maritime importance and in a few centuries had become the most important port in the Thyrrenian, competing for supremacy with Pisa and attracting the attention of Turkish pirates.
The port today manages light commercial and passenger traffic to the Thyerrenian islands, while the mediaeval centre of Civitavecchia is still well preserved.

Day 2
One of the most celebrated former inhabitants of Savona was the navigator Christopher Columbus, who farmed land in the area while chronicling his journeys. 'Columbus's house', a cottage situated in the Savona hills, lay between vegetable crops and fruit trees. It is just one of many residences in Liguria associated with Columbus.
Several cities as well as Savona claim his birth and residency, such as Genoa and Terrarossa di Moconesi. Savona is the most important city on the west coast of Italy, within reach of the seaside resorts of Alassio, Loano and Varazze.

沒有計畫的旅行 常常有意外或是錯誤
如果每一個意外都是這樣美麗的話
我想每天的驚奇會充滿你的心!
這是買完香草麵包在回到火車站的路上看到的列柱式建築
Jan 25 2009: Genova 終於有官方網站了
我藉著e-mail 把名稱問出來了: Chiesa della SS. Annunziata del Vastato

(先從義大利開始把遊記補齊吧!
)
在回程去火車站的途中
意外發現這個類似棋盤式的衍密街道
小小的細長街道 也許不是假日的關係 顯得十分寧靜安詳
奇異的是我居然可以依自己的方向感正確的走出這棋盤式的街道
(我很不喜歡來回走同樣的路)
光線透過房角洩入 隱約的飛簷設計透露當時的光芒
沿著街道有不少個性小店舖
尚未開業的小酒吧 正在虛位以待
也許到了晚上又是不同的光景 坐在這邊 喝杯小酒 看著人來人往
也是一種不同的風味

《Italy.Voyage》Genova, Italy -3
十九世紀新古典主義的高雅和二十世紀的多面性和豐富的想像力
都顯示在現代化市中心的街道: Genoa 市中心及辦公大樓與銀行街
豪華的羅馬街道 寬闊的 De Ferrari 廣場
隨便往裡面一拍就是這樣的景象
在義大利文中palazzo=> Building, or Palace
Castelli==> castle,
在大街上有著一個名為紅色大樓的著名畫廊
Palazzo Ducale 就在St. Lorenzo 教堂附近
曾是六個世紀政府的總部

《Italy.Voyage》Genova, Italy -2
從地中海到北部平原地區,從歐洲大陸的北部到南部
GENOA 一直是一個重要的通道
公元前六世紀腓尼基和伊特魯的商人越過海灣在這邊定居
中世紀,這個海灣成為了偉大海上共和國的心臟地帶
這個海上共和國的殖民地遍佈各地
世界上每個人都聽過, Genoa 商人的響鐺鐺的名號
由於有錢人太多, 所以蓋教堂的蓋博物館的比比皆是
(咱們中國人可能是蓋祠堂吧 有異曲同工之妙)
巴洛克風格的教堂有個刻著壁畫的拱頂
有的雕刻在石門上
p.s. 這個璧飾的色澤讓我想到著名的WEDGEWOOD 瓷器好像也是這般的藍與白

《Italy.Voyage》Genova, Italy -1
說到漫無目的的在Genoa 閒逛,
鑒於在法國的經驗 所以我喜歡找條子問路
這一位好像在開罰單的也不能倖免
義大利的警察感覺上比法國我看到的年輕喔!!!
連市政府都長的很"古蹟" 如此的雕梁畫棟 根本不像市政府啦
義大利文的Piazza 是廣場的意思
這是我惟一學會的單字
問路時每個人都跟我說"批也沙"

《Italy.Voyage》S. Lorenzo cattedrale
在十一世紀之前, Genoa 是一個獨立的省份
也有GENOA 共和國的稱號 (這也是麻雀變公主 Princess Diary 電影背景的由來)
or Ligurian Republic (力古亞共和國)
2004 年歐盟指定Genoa 為歐洲文化之都
二次世界大戰時英艦曾經發射砲彈落在這個教堂前
但是因為沒有爆炸所以我才有幸看到這個建築
S. Lorenzo 教堂是由和法國的藝術家工藝家的藝術結晶
寬大的圓花窗及大理石鋪成了裡面的步道,
其實一開始問路時,路人還跟我說錯方向
(更奇怪的是 我滿心知道她說的是錯的 我真的懂義大利文嗎???)
我能找到這個教堂 萬全是拜這個屋頂所賜!

《Italy.Voyage》S. Lorenzo cattedrale縮影
這就是當初在簡介上找到的聖羅倫佐教堂(St. Lorenzo Cattedrale)
我其實是先被屋頂吸引 後來到了教堂前面
開始照相 才發現這不是我要找的地方嗎???

《Italy.Voyage》Genova, Italy-1
適逢美國地區的Columbus Day, 所以也要應景一下
其實剛才自己還愣了一下
因為發現新大陸的Colombo 剛好就是這次造訪Genova 地方誕生的
所以一出火車站 便有紀念Colombo 的石像
不過怎麼看這邊的拼法是 Cristoford Colombo 阿
所以查了WIKIPEDIA 才真相大白:
Christopher Columbus (Italian :Cristoforo Colombo; Spanish: Cristóbal Colón 1451–May 20, 1506) was a navigator and an admiral for the Crown of Castile whose transatlantic voyages opened the Americas to European exploration and colonization. He is commonly believed to have been from Genoa, although his origins remain disputed.
原來在義大利文中就是Colombo 阿!
在此我要謝謝哥倫布先生賜給我勇氣跟方向感
讓我在GENOVA完全沒有地圖的盲目亂走 卻又闖出了一百多張照片

去Genova (or Genoa 在義大利文中) 是計畫中的意外旅程
原因是雖然火車票早已買好 但是網路上查不到很多資料
除了一份中文的資料外 就是 BONNIE 的網站囉!
更慘的是 到義大利的時間根本是中午休息時間
我途中最倚重的觀光局辦公室根本沒開
所以拿著一百零一份資料, 來問路人這個在哪裡的遊戲開始了
說實在 到現在為止還有很多點沒被我找出來
我只知道一直一直在拍 (花了我來回三十歐元的火車票 說啥也要值回票價阿
)
目前還在核對資料中 所以先看部分照片吧!
