It was formerly an independent comune, named San Francesco d'Albaro, included in the city of Genoa in 1873. At present, together with the neighbourhoods of {{ill|Foce (Genoa)|lt=Foce|it|Foce (quartiere di Genova)}} and {{ill|San Martino (Genoa)|lt=San Martino d'Albaro|it|San Martino (quartiere di Genova)}} is part of the Genoa's city VIII Municipio (Medio Levante). For few months, from September 1822 to July 1823, the romantic poet Lord Byron lived here. The English writer Charles Dickens spent in Albaro the summer of 1844, and here he wrote the short novel The Chimes. From the 16th to the 19th century Albaro was a renowned holiday resort for the Genoese upper class, who lived in the city and during summer used to move to their villas in Albaro. Nowadays it is a stately residential neighborhood, where during the last century next to the historic villas apartment buildings have been built, most of them with broad exclusive green spaces. A well known hamlet of Albaro is Boccadasse, a fishermen's village at the eastern side of Corso Italia. EtymologyAccording to the historian Federico Donaver (1861–1915), Albaro would take its name from the ancient Ligurian word arbà, which means bay; another hypothesis (still by Donaver itself) presumes that it derives from dawn (Italian alba), as Albaro hill is located east of the city of Genoa, therefore where the sun rises. DemographicsAt 31 December 2015 were 28,465 people living in Albaro, with a population density of 96.38 people per km².[1] GeographyAlbaro is located east of the center of Genoa. The neighborhood includes the southernmost part of a hill between the rivers Bisagno and Sturla which ends at the sea with high cliffs and small stony beaches, once accessible only through narrow {{ill|crêuza|lt=crêuze|it|crêuza}}.[2] Nowadays along the coast line runs the seafront named Corso Italia. Albaro includes most of the territory of the former comune of San Francesco d'Albaro, except some small areas, and its boundaries are the sea coast (Corso Italia), Via Nizza and Via Pozzo on the west side, Corso Gastaldi on the north side, via Sclopis and via Orlando on the east side. HistoryTill 15th century Albaro hill was a rural area, populated only by few peasants, with vegetable gardens, vineyards and some monasteries. No settlements were along the coast, except the fishermen's village of Boccadasse, where a small cove allowed the landing of boats.[3] Since the 16th century Genoese aristocratic families built large villas in the surrounding of the city, and Albaro became one of their preferred places where spend summer time.[3] The period of villas ended at the end of 18th century with the decline of the Republic of Genoa and its annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia. In 1873 the comune of San Francesco d'Albaro, together with other 6 communes neighboring to Genoa, was included in the municipality of Genoa and with the master plan of 1906 began a process of urban development. New roads were opened, suitable for car traffic, the villas gardens were divided into lots, so creating a stately and exclusive residential neighbourhood for Genoese upper class.[3][4][5] ArchitectureVillas and palacesIn the early 16th century, the aristocratic families of Genoese ruling class built their villas, designed by the best architects, in the surroundings of the city. The hill of Albaro, for its proximity to the city, became a favorite vacation site for the Genoese upper class, who in summer moved there to spend the hot season.[3] Originally the villas were productive agricultural centers, but later they were transformed into summer stately mansions, enriched with works of art and large parks. The construction of the villas continued during the following centuries, till to 18th century. During the 19th century the rich entrepreneurial class took the place of the aristocratic. They built small villas, while the historic houses, no longer appropriate for the new needs, were divided into apartments or handed over to religious communities.[3] Even today the renovated historic mansions are in part are divided into apartments, while others are home to private schools, clinics and nursing homes but most of them lost their parks because of the construction of new buildings and only few of them remain as public parks.[6] Some of the most notable of these historicas houses are:
Houses built in the first decades of 20th century reflect the architectural styles of that time: we can see Gothic revival, Art Nouveau and rationalist buildings. Best examples of these architectures are the villa Canali Gaslini and the castle Türke, both designed by Gino Coppedè, the rationalist buildings of Luigi Carlo Daneri and the more recent palace Ollandini, singular work of Robaldo Morozzo della Rocca.[7] Places of worshipIn Albaro there are today five Catholic parish churches, among them the historic churches of {{ill|San Francesco d'Albaro (Genoa)|lt=San Francesco d'Albaro|it|Chiesa di San Francesco d'Albaro}}, with a monastery of Friars Minor Conventual, built in the 14th century and still today officiated by Greyfriars and {{ill|Sant'Antonio in Boccadasse|it|Chiesa di Sant'Antonio in Boccadasse}} (18th century); after World War II, due to the increase of population three new modern churches have been constructed (N.S. del Rosario, Santa Teresa and San Pio X). Other notable churches are {{ill|San Giuliano Abbey (Genoa)|lt=San Giuliano Abbey|it|Abbazia di San Giuliano (Genova)}}, now close to Corso Italia, built in the 13th century, the only survivor of some small churches on the seashore, and {{ill|Santa Maria del Prato (Genoa)|lt=Santa Maria del Prato|it|Chiesa di Santa Maria del Prato (Genova)}}, near to San Francesco d'Albaro, built in Romanesque style in 1172 by Canons Regular of the Holy Cross of Mortara. Since 1935 it houses the nuns of the Institute of Sisters of the Immaculata. In the church there is the grave of the founder Saint Agostino Roscelli. In ancient times in Albaro were some other churches, no longer existing due to urban expansion. The best known of these was dedicated to the Saints Nazario and Celso, and its ruins were demolished for the construction of Corso Italia; the others were those of San Vito, Santa Giusta, San Luca and Sant'Elena.
