Very small and almost nothing to see
Because of poor signage this famous explorer's childhood home proved difficult to find but we managed to find it near the Porta Soprana Medieval gates just outside Genoa's 14th-century walls and not far from Piazza De Ferrari. It's a very quaint reconstructed stone house among much newer surrounding buildings. It's a popular tourist attraction but unfortunately it was closed when we visited. However, really there's not much to see.
Look alike house rebuilt as a reminder.
It has the advantage of showing how such an important person lived. The area is in total contrast. Large buildings compared to the house. It is worth the visit.
When I went there there was not even a sign posted. Everything closed. I only recognized it by the previous photos. Still nice to pass by.
Poor or absent English translation, verify few added value for the visit
