While in Italy, you should visit Genova (or Genoa). It is a beautiful old city which is a significant part of the Italian and International sea-lanes. If you want to visit Sardinia you should take a fairy which goes from the port of Genoa every single day. There are a lot of great and beautiful old buildings in Genoa. Tourists usually visit Church of Santa Maria di Castello and the Porta Soprana. The last used to be the gate to the city for several ages. There is also Church of Sant'Agostino built in the Middle Ages. When you go there do not forget to stop by at the Museum of Architecture and Sculpture.
