Search for models about Genoa

[asettico]

Hello all,
I'm searching for any paper model about Genoa.
Some time ago I only managed to find two:

• Genova la Superba
  
• St. George and the dragon

Thanks for any link, hint, whatever.

I would be happy to do it, but the UE directives impose the use of the real good, a paper model could be considered as an attempt at sophistication.

I think there are some Genoan ship models, aren't there?

I think so, but I'm not so accustomed to naval modelling. Let's say that I prefer architecture models.

I see you are interested in Genoa but if you want to extend your search, this company has loads of Italian buildings - except Genoa.

Formacultura.it

Sorry I couldn't find what you want ;-(

Wow! They have not Genoese models, but it's very interesting source (they are Tuscan, so are "specialized" in sites of Tuscany).

Thank you.

Had a search on the webby thing too, went through my physical and digital stashes, but couldn't come up with anything useful, I'm sorry to say asettico. One thing I would say is that I've collected a hoard of models over time which I came across by accident; locally designed and printed and on sale only in the vicinity of whatever site of interest you happen to be at. Scouring the Genoese souvenir shops, bookshops, tourist offices and the like could turn out well, or not.

Hang on! Just got this sneaky feeling that you're going to tell me you live in Genoa and have gone through all this alresdy.

Really thank you for the effort.

This is an option I had not consider: as soon as the opportunity presents itself, I will take a look in that sort of places.

Almost. I'm from Genoa, but I live in Milan. My mother still lives there, so when I go to see her, I will try.


Thank you all for the tips.

I took a long shot and went to the Corrierino e Giornalino site to see what places of interest were there so that I could search for places that readers of the Italian magazines might find interesting, Corrierino e Giornalino: belle citta d'italia


It was interesting, but not much help on this
