Nervi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nervi is a seaside resort in Liguria, in northwest Italy. Once an independent comune, it is now a quartiere of Genoa.
[edit] Geography
Located 25 meters above sea level, it is much frequented as a winter resort. At the beginning of the century, it's mentioned as being surrounded with groves of olives, oranges and lemons, and beautiful gardened villas. The climate is moist and less dusty than the western Riviera, and is especially in favor with those who suffer from lung complaints.
[edit] Education
The Wolfsonian-Florida International University of Florida International University in Miami, Florida has a regional museum in Nervi.
