...wrong turn in Genoa; one of the great pleasures of the place is getting lost amid the city's serpentine streets and undulating hillside avenues. But some roads should be sought out, notably Via Garibaldi, a majestic stretch of cobblestone flanked by 16th century villas just above the old port. One palace, Palazzo Tursi, has been the site of City Hall since 1848; others (Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco) have been turned into museums. When this city of 700,000 was picked?along with Lille, France?to be European Capital of Culture for 2004, the Italian government poured...

According to the expert, however, this Lambrusco was a great deal, coming in at just over $20 a bottle. The faces of those...
...certainly big enough for the job. Taller than Notre Dame cathedral and designed to cruise the North Atlantic at a zippy 30 m.p.h., the 151,400 gross-ton ship cost $800 million and will tower over every port where it docks.
