Join Sen as she couchsurfs at her friend Camilla’s place in Genoa.

We’ll get lost in the labyrinth of “caruggi” and discover fairy-tale neighborhoods, try a piece of focaccia in a historical bakery, and visit a cathedral that hides a secret – “un vero miracolo”! But that's not all. What's the “leggenda del cane di San Lorenzo”? Why are the Genoans known for being “tirchi e avidi”, stingy and greedy? And which world-famous product was invented in Genoa?
