Top 6 Waterfalls around Ceranesi

The trail is fairly easy to follow, a bit confusing at the beginning where you have to cross the stream (without taking off your shoes, just find the right spot... and then you have to follow the chain-link fence on the right, to simplify things).

The Cascata del Serpente is an enchanting natural spectacle immersed in the lush vegetation of the Ligurian Apennines. This waterfall, which takes its name from its sinuous shape, plunges with a suggestive leap into a pool of crystalline water. Easily accessible via a short hiking trail, the Cascata del Serpente is an ideal destination for nature lovers, offering a cool refuge on hot summer days and a perfect place for a regenerating break during walks.

Villetta Di Negro, for many Genoese “Dinegro” just to save space, is a municipal park in the center of the city of Genoa, on a small hill overlooking Piazza Corvetto and Piazzale Mazzini, partially covered with the bastions, called “Luccoli”, the walls dating back to the 17th century. The villa was built at the beginning of the 19th century by the Marquis Gian Carlo Di Negro and the park was decorated both with tall trees and paths with flowerbeds leading to the main villa, from which the view extended to the sea, with the presence of numerous statues, in keeping with the classical style of the period. In the second half of the 19th century, after the death of the Marquis Di Negro, the complex was bought by the City of Genoa and the villa was used as the Botanical Garden of the University of Genoa. During the bombings of World War II, the villa was practically destroyed except for the terrace overlooking the buildings in Piazza Fontane Marose, and in the following years it was rebuilt in modern style to house the Edoardo Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art. In the period between the two world wars, the garden was enriched both with alien plants and with two artificial "caves", one large and one small. In addition, the waterfall was designed by creating overhangs and pools to make the flow of water more spectacular.

Villetta Di Negro is a public park located in the Castelletto district, a short distance from the central Corvetto square. It houses a scenic green oasis of about 2 hectares, where in the sixteenth century the bulwark of Santa Caterina stood, an integral part of the defensive walls of the city. In 1785, when the military function fell, the area was given in concession to Ippolito Durazzo, who planted a botanical garden there. The Marquis Gian Carlo Di Negro bought the land in 1802 and founded a school of botany here. Di Negro also built the park, where he added finds from classical antiquity to the botanical collection. Ten years later, following the death of the Marquis, the Municipality of Genoa bought the park and the villa, making several changes on several occasions: between 1863 and 1892 the caves, the waterfall and the gardener's house were built, a building that it was destroyed during the Second World War by the naval bombardments of the allies. In 2014, the restoration work that affected all its parts returned the park to the city. Among the botanical peculiarities there are two monumental plane trees, dating back to the foundation of the park, and three sequoias laid around 1870. Currently the Villa is home to the Chiossone Oriental Art Museum, in the rationalist architecture building designed in 1953 by Mario Labò . www.visitgenoa.it/villetta-di-negro
