Quinto al Mare

Quinto al Mare (also called simply Quinto) is a residential neighbourhood of 8,109 inhabitants in the municipality of Genoa, part of the Municipio IX Levante. It was an independent municipality until 1926, when it was aggregated to Greater Genoa. Located in the eastern part of the city, immediately after Quarto dei Mille (from where the expedition of the Thousand led by Giuseppe Garibaldi left on the night between 5 and 6 May 1860), the neighborhood is squeezed between the sea and the last slopes of Mount Fasce which take the name of Mount Moro. It borders Nervi, once a holiday resort, known for its particularly mild climate and natural border of the nearby municipality of Bogliasco to the east, and Quarto dei Mille to the west. Quinto al Mare is home to some of the most renowned beach resorts in the city, and some characteristic places where it is possible to taste the specialities of Ligurian cuisine.
