The legacy between Genoa and San Francisco is now stronger than ever. Two years after the visits of some other Genovese representatives, Italian Americans in the bay welcomed Marco Bucci, currently serving as Genoa Mayor since his election in June 2017. 

Mr Bucci and his team had a week full of events and meetings, aiming to strengthen the relationships between people, companies, and institutions. In fact, not only do the cities of San Francisco and Genoa share the historical background as maritime centers, but they have also seen a great contribution of immigrants from the Ligurian capital to the entire Bay Area.
