It was pleasant to combine the fingers that the skilful hand of the Doge combined with the aromas of the four products presented: Amaro and Aperitivo Ritrovato, Gin Rusagni and Limoncello di Santo Stefano. Giovanni Fabbrizii had invented an amaro and an aperitif that he sent from Genoa all over Italy and, thanks to which, in 1906 he obtained the distinguished cross and the gold medal at the Great International Exhibition and National Wine Show in Genoa.

Genovese basil (in Ligurian language baxaicò or baxeicò) is a cultivar of Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil). It is one of the most popular basils for culinary use, particularly for its use in pesto, the traditional Genoese sauce. The name "Basilico Genovese" is protected by the European Union with the Denominazione di Origine Protetta certification. Genoese basil is produced in the provinces of Genoa, Savona and Imperia.
The best genoese basil is said to be grown in Prà, a western delegation of the city of Genoa. The nearby presence of a large steel mill from the 1950s to the 1980s threatened the cultivar, said to be necessary to produce the "real" genoese pesto. Now the threat is mostly gone with the dismissal of the mill and the conversion of the remaining lines to less polluting productions.

Quick facts about Liguria Liguria Region of Italy
Genoa The coastal strip is known as the Italian Riviera. Liguria is one of Italy's smallest regions, and the topography is quite rugged as the Alps and the Apennine Mountains come down to the sea. Vineyards are thus small and scattered, and they must compete for the limited available land with the region's flourishing flower growing indusrty, olive groves and vegetable gardens. The capital Genoa has long been an important trading port and hence it has been influenced by contact with Spain, France and other parts of Italy. Genoa has been a player in the rise and fall of empires and the rich history of the Mediterranean over three milennia. The city has developed into a cultural melting pot. This heritage has a reflection in the wine varieties used in Liguria, over 100 were counted in a census a few decades ago. Wines of LiguriaThere are no outstanding wines in this region, unlike the neighbouring Lombardy which boasts it's world class Barolo and Barbaresco.
