The festival’s purpose is to present the cultural traditions of different countries while providing an opportunity for group members to meet, establish friendships, and share their culture through dance and music. Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is like exploring a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges and the Teatro Carlo Felice. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse features pink and yellow buildings that brighten this charming fishing village.
