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.

Two hectares of green oasis from the 18th century in the heart of the city on the Bastion of Saint John surround the Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art, built in the 19th century on the site of the former neoclassical villa of the Marquis Giancarlo Di Negro. In 1802, this count bought the hill of the demilitarized Bastion of Luccoli and founded a botanical school there, which he financed for six years. The school later became the site of the Department of Botany at the University of Genoa. Di Negro also created a park here, which he decorated with busts and statues. In 1863, after the Marquis' death in 1857, the city bought the property and restructured it several times. In 1942, during World War II, the building was hit and destroyed by bombs from Entente ships. In 1948, the city financed the new building in its current form. Worth mentioning is the waterfall that Giancarlo Di Negro had created when the bastion of the 16th century walls was demolished. Today the villa is home to the Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art.
