The small Mediterranean region of Liguria is famous for its long beaches and nature parks. But also for the important place in maritime history of its main city, Genoa.
Although Liguria is not the region best known for its Jewish life, it is worth noting that it was in Genoa that the first Bible in several languages was published in 1516. The text even contains footnotes about Christopher Columbus!
